Small business receipts, sorted

Scan a receipt. Text Detection (OCR) reads it. It lands in your own Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Point your phone at any paper receipt. SpeedReceipt detects the merchant, date and total, then logs the line straight into your own Google Sheets spreadsheet — no retyping, no shoebox of paper.

It's a simple way to get your receipts stored digitally and their details entered into a spreadsheet cashbook, ready for your accountant to work from. Built for sole traders, freelancers and the self-employed and other small operators who handle their own books — it doesn't manage payroll or per-employee expenses, so it's not the right fit once you employ staff.

Free to try. Works in your browser or as an app on Windows and Mac, with Android and iPhone on the way.

What's on the receipt

Everything a paper receipt costs you, automated

SpeedReceipt handles the scanning, the reading, and the filing — you keep the ten minutes you'd otherwise spend typing it all in by hand.

01

Scan with your phone's camera

Point your camera at any paper receipt. On-device Text Detection (also known as OCR) reads the merchant, date, and price the moment you take the photo — automatic receipt scanning with no manual typing.

✓ included
02

Import the receipts you've already got

Got a folder of receipt photos or PDFs sitting on your device already? Import them one at a time or the whole folder in one go — no rescanning needed.

✓ included
03

Forward them straight from your email

Every account gets its own forwarding address, or set up an auto-forwarding filter in Gmail — emailed receipts and invoices land in your account with no scanning at all.

✓ included
04

Scan from a networked printer or scanner

Already have a Wi‑Fi scanner or multifunction printer at the office? SpeedReceipt finds it on your network and pulls the scan straight in — no phone camera required.

✓ included
05

Google Sheets spreadsheet sync

Every receipt is logged as its own row in your own Google Sheets spreadsheet — the one you already own, not a system you have to export from later.

✓ included
06

Every receipt filed, renamed, and ready to hand over

Each receipt photo is moved into a folder for its financial year and renamed to something readable at a glance — for example, 01-05-2025 - Bunnings - 124.50.jpg, not IMG_4821.jpg. Share a view-only link to the whole folder, or download it as one zip, whenever your accountant needs it.

✓ included
07

Split one receipt across several categories

Bought tools and personal items in the same hardware store trip? Split the total across categories, or log each item on its own line — one receipt, logged exactly the way it was actually spent.

✓ included
08

Catches duplicate scans before they cost you twice

Re-scan the same receipt by accident and SpeedReceipt flags it before saving, showing the existing entry side-by-side so you can compare before deciding what to do.

✓ included
09

Receipt Assistant

Learns which category and items you usually pick for each merchant, and offers them back next time. For a new item it hasn't seen before, built-in Gemini AI reads the receipt itself to suggest what it actually is — without ever guessing at something the receipt doesn't actually say.

✓ included
10

Nothing is ever really deleted

Remove a receipt by mistake and it lands in Rubbish, not the void — restore it any time, no support ticket needed.

✓ included
11

One account, every platform

Sign in once and you're covered on the web app, Windows and Mac today — Android and iPhone unlock the same way the moment they ship. No separate purchase per device.

✓ included
12

Tax calculated automatically

Worked out from the total the moment it's scanned, including after any deductions — you can always correct it by hand. Rename it to GST, VAT, sales tax or whatever your region calls it, and dates follow your own date format too.

✓ included
13

Invoices and quotes, done properly

Raise a proper PDF invoice or quote for a customer — auto-numbered, with your own GST setup applied — straight from the same app your receipts already live in. Email it to the customer on the spot, or download it.

✓ included
14

Mileage logbook

Track business kilometres as you drive, ready for your logbook at tax time.

Also included: Multi-currency Custom categories Business-use % splitting Cashbook export Try it in demo mode, no sign-in needed

Ready for tax time

A real cashbook, not a shoebox of receipts

Pick your financial year and SpeedReceipt turns everything you've logged into a proper cashbook spreadsheet — twelve monthly tabs plus a Summary, income and expenses split out by category, running totals, and an optional GST, VAT, or Sales Tax summary — whatever your region calls it. It's laid out the way an accountant-supplied template already is, because that's exactly what it's modelled on.

Download it as an Excel spreadsheet, or open the live Google Sheets version and share a view-only link straight from Drive — your accountant gets exactly what they need without you exporting, zipping, or emailing a single attachment.

Ready for a tax audit

Every receipt, filed and named for you

The moment a receipt is saved, its photo moves into a folder for the financial year it belongs to and gets renamed to something an accountant — or an auditor — can read at a glance. No more scrolling through a camera roll full of IMG_4821.jpg.

Share a view-only link to the whole folder, or download it as one zip, whenever you need to hand your records over.

Your data, your Drive

It's your Spreadsheet. We just help you fill it in.

Every receipt, every spreadsheet row, every cashbook export lives in your own personal Google Drive and Sheets — the account you already have, not a database SpeedReceipt runs. Your receipts and financial data are never stored on our servers. The only thing tied to your account elsewhere is whether you're subscribed, so your one account works across every device without your records ever leaving Google.

Even the scanning itself never leaves your device — Text Detection reads the receipt locally, so the photo is never uploaded anywhere just to extract what's on it.

How it works

Three steps, no spreadsheet gymnastics

STEP 01

Scan

Photograph or upload the receipt. Text Detection (OCR) reads it on the spot.

STEP 02

Check

Merchant, date, price and category are pre-filled — glance over them, fix anything, tap Save.

STEP 03

Synced

The receipt is added as a row in your own Google Sheets spreadsheet, ready for tax time.
