Small business receipts, sorted
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, ready for your accountant to work from. Built for sole traders, freelancers 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 Android, with Windows, iPhone and Mac on the way.

What's on the receipt
SpeedReceipt handles the scanning, the reading, and the filing — you keep the ten minutes you'd otherwise spend typing it all in by hand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Learns which category and items you usually pick for each merchant, and offers them back next time — without ever guessing at something the receipt doesn't actually say.
Sign in once and you're covered on Android, the web app, and Windows today — iPhone and Mac unlock the same way the moment they ship. No separate purchase per device.
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.
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.
Track business kilometres as you drive, ready for your logbook at tax time.
Ready for tax time
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/tax summary. 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, then get it to your accountant the same way you'd share any other spreadsheet — attach it to an email, or just send them the link.

Your data, your Drive
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.
How it works
Photograph or upload the receipt. Text Detection (OCR) reads it on the spot.
Merchant, date, price and category are pre-filled — glance over them, fix anything, tap Save.
The receipt is added as a row in your own Google Sheets spreadsheet, ready for tax time.
