I used the H-word, I know. But it’s truly how I describe my relationship with biz receipts. What about you? Yeah, we’re probably in the same boat. Bookkeeping is the freakin’ worst.
But… it’s just gotta happen. Even in creative businesses, the one area you don’t ever want creativity is in the books.
Unless you have someone else do it. Ah-ha!

There are two glorious, and affordable, options for you to have your receipts taken care of. Done-zo.
Then it’s off your plate and you can focus on other (read: more exciting) things. Yes!
We’re looking at Shoeboxed and Receipt Bank.
Both of these companies offer the same principle: you send them your receipts, they enter them for you. Let’s check ‘em out.

First off, I must say the name is adorable. I totally picture that shoebox stuffed with bills to be dealt with ‘some day.’ Kudos on the creativity there!
With Shoeboxed, they scan your receipts so you can go totally paperless. They have an app where you can snap a pic of your receipt. They’ll send you a prepaid envelope (unless you have the Lite plan) so you can cram all your receipts into it. Plus, they can automatically import receipts from Gmail. Tax time is simplified since the scanned receipts are accepted by both the IRS and CRA. Ahhhh, beautiful!
You can export the data to QuickBooks, Wave, Xero, Outright, Evernote, Excel… and the list goes on.
There’s a few other goodies they offer (like mileage tracking or uploading business cards into your contact list), but these aforementioned services are what makes Shoeboxed attractive to me.
Plans start at $10 a month for 50 documents and go up from there. You can change plans at any time.
Right now they’re offering a free trial month, or you can have a free digital-submission only account which gives you 5 documents per month. Nice way to test the waters!

With Receipt Bank, you can email, upload, and import receipts from Dropbox or Tripcatcher. You can snap a pic and have it upload directly into their app. They’ll work their magic and your data will be imported directly into your cloud-based accounting software or sent to your accountant. They’re in the good books with tax authorities in a number of countries (including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland) so you’ve got options.
Your data can be exported to QuickBooks, Freshbooks, SageOne, Sage50, Xero, and a heck of a lot more.
They can also hook you up with accountants or bookkeepers in your local area. This feature is still in development, so if you don’t see anyone yet, hang tight. It’ll happen!
Give it a go with a free 14-day trial. Small business plans start at $15 per month which covers up to 50 documents.

I’m so happy to get rid of the painful task of receipt data entry. Plus, it’s a total drag so I’m thrilled to ditch that stress. Let’s spend our time doing fun and creative things and leave the dull data entry to others!

Hi! I’m Katie Momo. I help businesses grow through strategic digital marketing + engaging social media.
Let’s showcase your business’ personality online so you can build rich, lasting, and profitable relationships. I’ll help you connect with your ideal clients – whether located on the other side of town or other side of the world. A stellar social strategy, combined with fabulous Facebook ad funnels, makes for a fiercely effective system.
When I’m not helping businesses become socially savvy, I enjoy jogging slowly over short distances, dancing like nobody’s watching, and hunting for the perfect latte. I pride myself for only falling down the rabbit hole of Home and Garden Television once a week.
