Receipts by text Operations and Growth

The receipt is the record. Text a photo of it to your PhonePick number from your own phone, and it is read, filed with the picture, and ready for your bookkeeper at the end of the month.

On Operations, $149 a month, and Growth. No contract, no setup fee.

What it does

Text a photo of a receipt to your number: it is read, filed with the picture, and ready for month end.

Text it, and it is filed

A text comes back with the total, the tax and the net, and the receipt is on your Expenses page with its photo.

The tax that is printed

The tax it records is the tax printed on the receipt. It never applies a rate, because claiming tax that is not on the receipt is the mistake that costs you. Anything it is unsure of is marked for you to check.

Your staff too

Your own phone always works. Add the phones of the people who buy things for the business, and their receipts are filed as well. A customer's photo is an ordinary inbox message, never your expense.

A CSV for your bookkeeper

Download the month as a CSV. Adding one by hand? Attach a photo or a PDF and it fills in the amounts for you to check before you save.

Setting it up

How to switch it on

  1. Expenses → Who can text receipts in: add any staff phones. Your own phone always works.
  2. Text a photo of a receipt to your PhonePick number. iPhone photos work, and several receipts can go in one text.
  3. At month end, download the CSV from the Expenses page.

Being straight with you

What it will not do

It is a flat list of expenses, not accounting software: no job costing, no bank feeds, no tax returns. Photos are kept shrunk, with the GPS location removed, and every one can be viewed and downloaded.

Before you ask

What people ask about it

Do iPhone photos work?

Yes. iPhone photos are converted and read like any other, and a PDF receipt works too.

What if the receipt has no tax line?

Then the tax is not guessed. If a subtotal is printed, the difference is recorded and marked as worked out, for you to check; if not, it is marked unknown.

Can I keep the photo?

Yes. Every receipt's photo is kept with the record and can be viewed and downloaded.
