Simplify Travel Expenses

Making expense reports is PITA. I used to travel for work and it was such a pain to record all my receipts and make the report I would just not do it for a lot of stuff and just pay out of pocket for my own expenses while traveling (food, random cab rides, etc). With Receipt-AI, I can just text all my receipts while on a trip and that is really helpful.

Big Time Saver

I’ve historically used a few different expense management tools and would spend 30-60 minutes a month saving images of receipts to properly expense items. It was a nightmare experience but was mandatory within big Corp. Receipt-AI is very simple to use if you use QuickBooks and/or Xero.
