Expense Tracker
Receipts captured, categorised, and logged on autopilot.
Most finance teams burn hours every week typing receipts into spreadsheets and chasing the missing ones. The workflow captures every receipt the moment it arrives, extracts the details, and logs it without anyone touching a row.

From receipt to logged, in four steps.
Receipts and invoices forwarded to a dedicated email or Slack channel are collected the moment they land. Photos, PDFs, and attachments all enter the same flow.
AI-powered OCR reads each receipt and converts it into structured data: vendor, amount, date, category, and any other fields your finance team needs.
Duplicates, policy exceptions, and out-of-policy amounts are detected as they come in and routed for review. Clean expenses move through automatically.
Validated entries land in your tracking sheet and sync to QuickBooks or your accounting tool of choice. Every action is logged for audit.
What changes after we deploy this.
If any of these describe your business, this workflow earns its keep.
When every receipt has to be typed in by hand, finance teams burn hours each week on work that adds nothing. AI extraction removes the typing entirely, so your team can focus on real analysis instead of data hygiene.
Policy violations only get caught at month-end, when fixing them is expensive and creates friction with submitters. Real-time flagging surfaces issues at the moment of capture, when corrections are quick and uncontroversial.
Receipts forwarded to inboxes, photographed in Slack, and stuck in someone's wallet eventually become next quarter's problem. The workflow captures every receipt the moment it arrives, so nothing waits to be dealt with later.
An audit trail, kept for you.
You won't watch this day to day. We maintain the full record on your behalf, available whenever you need to review, export, or share it.

Want to know what a month of your receipts would look like logged?
We will look at a batch of them and tell you what we would categorise automatically, and what we would flag for you.

How do receipts get captured?
Forward them to a dedicated email or Slack channel and they are logged as they arrive. The system handles attachments, photos, and PDF receipts in the same flow, so submitters can use whatever is easiest for them.
Can I customise categories?
Yes. The workflow uses your company's category structure and applies it consistently across every receipt. You can add, rename, or restructure categories at any time and the workflow adapts on the next run.
What if a receipt is a duplicate?
Duplicates are detected before logging and flagged for review. Nothing is auto-deleted: you decide whether to keep, replace, or discard the entry, and the system logs the decision for your audit trail.
Can this sync to my accounting system?
Yes. Validated expenses sync to QuickBooks or other supported accounting tools automatically. You can also choose to log to a sheet first and sync on a schedule, depending on how your finance team prefers to review.
Does the system catch policy violations?
Yes. Any out-of-policy amount, missing detail, or unusual vendor is flagged as it comes through. You define the rules during setup, such as per-category caps, required fields, or vendor allowlists, and they apply on every receipt going forward.
