The problem it solves

Sorting through a stack of receipts, typing the details into a spreadsheet, and remembering to forward business expenses to your accountant is a recurring chore for you or your bookkeeper. Miss a step and you're left hunting for a paper receipt weeks later at tax time.

Who it fits

Small business owners or households organizing personal and business expenses.

How it works

  1. A receipt is submitted through a form
  2. Extracts the text with OCR
  3. AI organizes vendor, amount, date, and category
  4. Files the receipt in Google Drive by month and category
  5. Emails you a summary and forwards business expenses to your accountant

We can build this. But should you?
