Preaccounting
David Barrett, founder and CEO of Expensify, uses the term "preaccounting" to refer to the work that employees (or non-accountants) do that has an impact on the accounting process.
Preaccounting is the distributed bookkeeping that everyone does in order to get their paperwork in line before giving it to their finance team, including but not limited to employees gathering receipts and submitting expense reports.
