SparkReceipt is an AI receipt scanner and expense tracker app for freelancers, self-employed professionals, and small business owners. Snap any receipt and SparkReceipt extracts the merchant, amount, date, category and line items in seconds. Connect your inbox, forward email receipts, or upload PDFs and the app handles the rest. EMAIL INBOX AUTO-SCANNING Connect Gmail or Outlook and SparkReceipt automatically finds and imports email receipts as they arrive. You stay in control: review, approve, and exclude senders any time. EMAIL RECEIPT FORWARDING Prefer to file receipts manually? Forward eReceipts to your personal SparkReceipt address and the AI files them for you. AI RECEIPT SCANNING (OCR) The OCR receipt scanner reads paper receipts, PDF invoices, and forwarded email receipts in any language and currency. Smart categorization is based on the products on the receipt, not just the merchant name, so business expenses end up in the right account. INCOME, EXPENSES, AND PROFIT/LOSS TRACKING Track income alongside expenses for real-time profit and loss across your business. Tag expenses by client, project, or trip. Convert any currency at accurate historical daily rates for clean tax reporting. MILEAGE TRACKER Log business trips and claim every mile at tax time. Start a GPS-tracked drive with one tap or add trips by hand, assign each to a vehicle, client, or project, and SparkReceipt works out the reimbursement. Group trips into a trip report or export your mileage log with your receipts for deduction-ready records. ACCOUNTING INTEGRATIONS Push categorized receipts straight into QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Zoho Books, or export reports as PDF, Excel, or CSV when your accountant asks. FreshBooks is in early access. Webhooks and a public API are included. BANK FEEDS Connect your bank account and SparkReceipt imports transactions and matches them to your receipts, so missing ones stand out before tax time. Bank feeds are in beta and currently available for US banks. PDF bank statements can be uploaded too. SHARE WITH YOUR ACCOUNTANT Invite your accountant directly into SparkReceipt or share a secure link. No more emailing receipts as attachments. Set time limits to auto-hide shared receipts after tax season. TEAM COLLABORATION Invite teammates and keep everyone's receipts and expenses organized in one secure place. Sort by category, tag, or user, and approve expense reports together. CLOUD STORAGE THAT WORKS EVERYWHERE Documents are encrypted and backed up in the cloud. Access them from iPhone, iPad, or any browser via the SparkReceipt web app at no extra cost. SPARKAGENT AI ASSISTANT Ask SparkAgent about your spending, or have it categorize new expenses and tag last month's travel receipts. It asks before anything that can't be undone.
