Receipts, Mileage and Income easily tracked on the Shaper Accountants App

Both clients and firms need to take care of the receipts they acquire as part of their business ventures, and MyFirmsApp has you covered with the Receipt Manager tool. This feature allows you to take a photo of your receipt and then fill out some data. Now that you have your receipt stored on your device, you can export it rapidly via email.

Keeping track of your overall income is something that can take up a lot of your time, time you could spend on more important business activities. The Shaper App Income Tracker allows you to input all your different forms of income into one place and track it next to total expenditure.

Tracking your mileage is something you want to do when using a company car, or for keeping track of travel expenses. Doing it by the old pen & paper method can be confusing and a drain on your time. Shaper’s Mileage Tracker tool will record your travels for you and organise it all into a single App, which can be easily exported via email.

As Shaper is an accountancy firm with considerable experience and utilisation of Xero, the App has full integration with Xero Accounting Services, which means that if you have an internet connection you can manage your finances and accounts on the go. The App also features portals to Quickbooks and GoCardless, with links to the company website and a fully integrated blog.

This App also supports an amazingly effective and quick communication tool: Push Notifications. Compared to emails, Push Notes are far quicker to draft and publish and get noticed and acted on by recipients considerably more often than an expensive, time consuming email campaign that frequently ends up ignored.

Shaper Accountants have augmented their firm by offering a wealth of valuable services for their clients, further Xero integration in particular. The special relationship between the firm and Shaper’s clients will be further reinforced by the increased interaction and quality of services that the App improves and fortifies against HMRC intrusion.
