Clients send receipts late with poor quality and no context, requiring hours of follow-up to match them to expenses.

Existing solutions like email and camera photos lack structured data capture (date, amount, category) and automatic linking to transactions, forcing manual matching and chasing.

Guided receipt capture with auto-extraction of date, amount, and merchant using OCR
One-tap send to bookkeeper with pre-populated context (client name, job/project)
Automated matching to existing expense records or creation of new ones
Reminder notifications for pending receipts, with escalation if overdue

Target Users: Bookkeepers and accountants at small to mid-size firms who manage expense tracking for multiple clients

Revenue Model: $19/mo per active client (unlimited receipts) for bookkeepers; free tier for clients
