Bills and receipts, read and filed.
Supplier bills and receipts that arrive by email or photo are read, matched and filed in Xero or QuickBooks. Anything unclear is passed to you.

The problem
The bills pile up while you do the work.
- 01
Supplier bills land in your inbox, and receipts sit as photos on your phone.
- 02
Each one has to be opened, read and typed into the books by hand.
- 03
You put it off, and then a bill you forgot about comes round again.
- 04
At the end of the month there is a big pile, and it is nobody's favourite job.
What usually happens
- Bills and receipts are gathered up and typed in all at once, when there is time.
- A bill can be missed, or paid twice, because nobody has one clear list.
- The person typing has to guess which category a bill belongs in.
- Your accountant is handed a mixed pile and has to sort it out.
How we do it
- Bills and receipts are read as soon as they arrive, whether by email or by photo.
- Each one is matched to what you ordered and filed in Xero or QuickBooks.
- Anything unclear is passed to you, rather than filed on a guess.
- You see a short list of what came in, so nothing is lost.
How it works
The plan
- 01Show us where bills arrive
Which email address, and which accounts system you use now.
- 02We set it up and test it
You send a few real bills and receipts, and watch them get filed.
- 03It runs from then on
New bills and receipts are read and filed, and the unclear ones come to you.
Always watching
It checks itself
Every bill is looked at again after it is filed, so a mistake is caught while it is small, not at the end of the year.

- A total that does not match the orderChecked
- A bill with a missing date or supplier nameChecked
- A receipt that was sent but never filedChecked
