The first "as" is there, but the second "as" is not. The correct expression is "not as A, but as B" Thus, two "as"s are necessary. In addition, one does not think of something "as expense"--one thinks of something "as an expense", since "expense" is a noun and not an adjective / adverb, and thus requires "a" or "an".
For example:
I think of himwarmly (adverb) = correct
I find himannoying
