Tax guy. I second this comment. It makes a huge difference for the non programmers how this is done from both an employee cash flow and tax perspective.

At my previous job, I was asked to go to an international networking event in Europe. The firm would have reimbursed my expenses. I was prepared to go until I discovered that the trip would cost $22,000. The firm wasn't quick enough with reimbursements for me to justify paying for it upfront, so I had to pass.
