Snap a photo, get it categorised and logged
Stop manually typing up receipts. Claude Code builds a tool that uses Claude's vision API to read photos of receipts, extract the amount, date, vendor, and VAT, then match each expense to a category from your chart of accounts. Categorised expenses are logged to a Google Sheet for easy review and import into your accounting software. Note: this outputs to Google Sheets, not directly to accounting software — keeping it simple and reliable.
Target audience: Accountants, bookkeepers, and small business owners who process receipts regularly
