Why receipt scanning matters for freelancers
Fewer missing expenses
When you capture receipts immediately, you are less likely to lose deductible costs — especially on-site purchases.
Clean project cost history
Linking each receipt to a project makes it easier to understand profitability and prepare invoices.
Faster bookkeeping
A structured list of expenses helps you create summaries for your accountant and your tax workflow.

FAQ: receipt scanning
Can I scan both receipts and invoices?
Yes — the goal is to support both receipts and invoices, so you can track costs across different vendors and documents.
Can I link expenses to a specific project?
Yes. The core workflow is project-based: you track time per project and link receipts/expenses to the same project.
Does it work for trades and field work?
Yes — scanning receipts is especially useful for on-site purchases (materials, parts, transport) that should be tracked per job.
