How a receipt management App can make client businesses, fast, efficient and fun

One of the pressure points that all business owners feel is organising the paperwork that inevitably is generated by their enterprise. The paperless office – as all business owners know – has failed to fully materialise.

In fact, the amount of paper that a business generates is actually increasing by 25 per cent each year. One area where your accountancy firm can help its clients reduce their paper mountain is to use an App that is convenient and efficient and is likely to become an essential companion of all the businesses that use it.

Your clients’ most precious commodity is time. Using the features built into a specialised accountancy tax App can save them masses of time, and alleviate the frustration of managing the business receipts they need to track. One of the most popular and useful features of the App your accountancy practice can create is receipt management.

A receipt management App enables any of your accountancy practice’s clients to simply photograph their receipt to capture it ready for submission into their accounts. What’s more, using this feature can save your clients up to 1 hour a week they can better spend expanding their business.

Your accountancy firm should be looking for new ways to support its clients. One tried and tested way of achieving this is to develop an App with receipt management built in.

Receipt apps have been available since the Smartphone appeared. Services such as Shoeboxed and NeatReceipt place convenient expense tracking services in the palm of the hand. What if your accountancy firm could do the same with other essential services also built into a specialised and personalised App?

Business owners are constantly looking for ways to make running their business more efficient. Your accountancy firm can become an essential component of the businesses it helps by developing a receipt management App. As the Smartphone is now ubiquitous, it makes sense to use a device that your accountancy firm knows each client carries, as an efficiency tool.

Your accountancy practice’s clients constantly make purchases through the working week. Giving them an easy to use tool that takes the pain out of capturing their receipts is one powerful way accountants can make a more personal connection with each client.

Using an App for receipt management offers a number of advantages:

  • Lost receipts are a thing of the past, as a digital copy is always available.
  • Bookkeeping is more efficient, as each receipt can be easily recorded.
  • Expense reports can be generated to ensure your clients understand how much they are spending.
  • Digital receipts generated from an App can be stored online for easy and immediate access.
  • Cash flow planning becomes more efficient, as receipts for spending can be easily accessed for potential savings.
  • Optional Receipt Bank enables instant real time integration from the receipt photo to accountancy platforms like Xero, Kashflow, FreeAgent and Sage.
