About Shoeboxed

Shoeboxed helps sole proprietors and small businesses scan and categorize their business expense receipts. This is not only helpful for maximizing tax deductions come tax time, but also in the case that their business is audited.

What makes Shoeboxed different is the plethora of ways Shoeboxed allows their customers to submit receipts for processing. Customers can submit receipts via Shoeboxed's free mobile apps, forward email receipts to their custom Shoeboxed email address, or mail their receipts to Shoeboxed using Magic Envelopes.

Easy to use and decreases accounting workload.

Much easier time keeping track of receipts.

Pros

Ease of use. It's really convenient to keep an envelope in a car to collect receipts on the go and to mail in once a week once a new envelope arrives. I really like this feature and it has allowed us to save all our receipts!

Cons

I wish it automatically matched with my QuickBooks banking. Right now we use quckbooks independently of shoeboxed as it will double enter the same transactions and not automatically match them. This is unfortunate!

Ease of use, better and more accurate books, more consistent writeoffs. From the app, it is fast and easy.

Pros

It makes tracking receipts simple. Saves me a ton of headache in managing the financials of my businesses. Managing the paper version of everything is tedious and difficult if you are on the road as much as I am.

Cons

Sometimes the camera auto opens when the appleads, I take a pic, and then the pic does not save. This is the only issue that frustrates me with the app. If this was fixed, my review would be perfect.

It helps me sleep easy knowing that all my receipts are stored so that I may access and categorize them when I have spare time. A good side activity to TV watching.
I wish that it was a bit simpler to enter the information about the purchase/receipt right when I take the picture of the receipt. Sometimes this presents as an option, but rarely.

Pros

I like that I can save a picture of my receipt before I leave the store. The system is simple. The free membership, leaves a lot of work, but is still helpful.

Cons

1. It would be nice if i didn't have to tell it to got to camera (instead of library) every time.
2. Rarely the page to enter the info right when I take the picture appears. Usually it just gives an opportunity to make a note, which isn't helpful.

I'd like to open the app, take a pic, and enter the data. All right away.

Robust capture

Robust capture

Pros

Their proprietary magic envelope system is very, easy to use and incorporate into your routine w/r/t any paper that needs to be captured.

Cons

Search functionality inside website is very limited. They should consider adding Google custom search functionality or partnering with a service like Findo.

Simple use, no more piles of paper around my office.

Simple use, no more piles of paper around my office.

Pros

I don't have to do the data entry and organization. This is done for you. You just set up the categories.

Cons

It grabs items from your email that are NOT purchases and then you have to clean those out of your account.
