Explore the Top Spenders Insight
Top spenders shows which members submitted the highest total expenses across workspaces where you’re a workspace admin, approver, or auditor.
You can use Top spenders to:
- Identify unusually high spending.
- Monitor spending patterns by member.
- Spot spending that may need a closer review for policy compliance.
- Support expense approval and reimbursement reviews.
What Top spenders shows
Top spenders highlights the five members with the highest total spending, ranked from highest to lowest.
Each member is represented by a bar, making it easy to compare spending amounts. For each member, you can see:
- Total spend: The combined amount of their expenses.
- Number of expenses: How many expenses contribute to their total.
This makes it easier to compare spending across members and identify expenses that may need further review.
Who can see Top spenders
Top spenders is available to workspace admins, auditors, and approvers on workspaces with at least two members.
The expenses included depend on your permissions:
- Workspace admins and auditors can see expenses across their workspace.
- Approvers can see expenses submitted to them.
Members without these permissions won’t see Top spenders.
How Top spenders is calculated
Top spenders groups expenses by the member who submitted them and ranks members from highest to lowest total spend.
Results include expenses within the selected date range from workspaces where you have the required permissions. Expenses submitted in individual chats instead of to a workspace aren’t included.
The Date, Workspace, and Group currency filters are shared across all insights, allowing you to adjust which data appears.
