Receipt Management Messes Solved

Simple, easy and efficient receipt management

Managing your receipts can be a tough task. Trying to keep track of all those important business expenses and receipts can be a nightmare: pockets overflow, wallets become crammed with them and inevitably, many are lost. If you are claiming back expenses, then this can be of significant cost and frustration.

Over the years, as a firm of proactive accountants in Illinois, we have seen it all. From envelopes and shoeboxes overflowing with receipts to carrier bags and plastic wallets.

There is a much easier way and it's free!
As a modern, forward thinking firm we are always looking for new and improved ways of doing things. So when we launched our Apple and Android-Approved App, one of the important features was Receipt Management - A super easy way that all businesses (both clients and non-clients) could store and manage their receipts. And here it is, the PK TAX SERVICES Receipt Manager.

It's built into the App, which is available free from either, the Apple or Android store. Simply search for PK TAX SERVICES in the relevant store and download the App free.

How does the PK TAX SERVICES APP Receipt Manager work?

First, you need to download the relevant App (see above). Once you have the App, simply click on the home page icon labeled Receipt Manager. This will open a window just like the one opposite. Before you get started, enter your name and company name into the My settings section of the receipt tool.

Photograph a Receipt

You can take a photo using the 'Photograph a Receipt' button. Selecting this will automatically open the 'Categories' tab where it will prompt you to select the category you wish to save your receipt under something like Travel Expenses, Property Costs, Personal Receipts and so on.

Once you have selected the category for your receipt, you can then photograph it automatically, using the in-built camera in your Smartphone or tablet. Once you have focused and taken the picture of your receipt, it will give you the option to 'use or retake'. Once 'use' is selected, you must now fill in relevant data regarding the receipt.
We have made these fields compulsory, as this data is enormously helpful if you are keeping track of numerous receipts. It also gives you the chance to add a specific note - a very useful feature if you have a receipt that your accountant or the IRS might later question.

Once the data is entered, simply click 'save' and your receipt is saved. They can later be found within the category you selected to save it under.

Exporting & Managing Receipts

To view, export and manage your receipts simply click 'Manage Receipts' then click on a specific category i.e. Travel Expenses. All receipts in that section will be shown. Exporting your receipts is simple, fast and easy. To export a single receipt, simply click on the receipt to manage, then scroll down and you have 3 options - Email, Export or Delete.

Exporting all receipts

To export all your receipt data, simply click 'Manage Receipts', then scroll down to the bottom, and select 'Export All'. This will allow you to select the date range of the receipts you wish to export. The image of your receipt(s) is stored locally on your device, in your 'photo' section. To send these images, simply send by email when on a good Wi-Fi connection, use 'photo-stream' if it's an iOS product, or one of the free and hugely popular cloud storage tools such as DropBox.
