What Shoeboxed saves from every business receipt

Our software reads each receipt and builds your expense record for you.

  • ✓The picture of the receipt itself, so you have proof of the purchase
  • ✓The vendor, the date, and the total, which are the details the IRS looks for
  • ✓The tax and the currency on the receipt

When your accountant asks for your receipts, you can find any one by vendor, date, or category, and export the whole list to a spreadsheet. Since 2007, Shoeboxed has scanned over 57 million receipts for more than 552,000 small businesses.

How one firm owner used Shoeboxed to get through an IRS audit

“[Shoeboxed] actually saved me during my IRS audit because they would look at the bank statements and then see a transaction and then ask me for the receipt. And I could go and type in the amount or whatever it was, and it would pull up on Shoeboxed.”
