What’s the strangest item you’ve ever had to classify as a business expense? Business expenditures can be quite unusual! Perhaps you had to expense a costume for a company party, a rubber chicken to boost “team morale,” or an oddly specific prop for a client presentation. What’s the most peculiar expense you’ve had to explain to your Accounting department?

That’s a great question! One of the weirdest expenses I had to justify was a mini disco ball for a client’s launch party. At first, it seemed frivolous, but the client insisted on creating a fun atmosphere to generate buzz and engagement. I ended up writing a detailed explanation that linked the expense to increasing brand visibility and customer interaction. It definitely raised some eyebrows at Accounting! What about you? Any bizarre expenses you’ve encountered?
