Send a photo · it’s in the books

Receipts in your pocket. Filed in your books.

Snap a receipt and send it. The vendor, total and tax are read for you, it’s filed under the right category with the original attached, and it becomes a real entry — not another pile in a separate app.

Capture is the easy part. Keeping the record is the point.

Plenty of apps will scan a receipt. The trouble starts after: the scan lives in one place, the books in another, and the two never quite meet. At tax time you’re re-organising everything for the accountant anyway.

Here the receipt is captured, categorised and attached to a real accounting entry in one step — kept for six years to CRA standards, findable in seconds. It’s one job, not two.

Questions

01

How does receipt tracking work?

You send a photo of the receipt from your phone in the same chat you use for everything else. The vendor, total and tax are read for you, a category is suggested, and it’s filed against a real accounting entry with the original image attached. You confirm or change it — nothing is guessed away.

02

Is a photo of a receipt enough for the CRA?

The CRA accepts clear electronic images of receipts, and records must be kept for six years. We keep each image attached to its entry at a readable quality, so your records stand up. We’re not a substitute for professional tax advice — your accountant still signs off.

03

Is this just a receipt scanner app?

No. Capture is one piece. The same system handles invoices, bills, payroll, HST and reports — so a captured receipt becomes part of your actual books, not a pile in a separate app you still have to reconcile.

04

What about expenses that aren’t simple business costs?

A receipt isn’t automatically an expense. Personal items, equipment, inventory and owner-funded purchases can need different treatment, so anything unclear is flagged for review rather than posted.
