ExpenseBot
ExpenseBot collects receipts and transactions from sources such as Gmail, photos, banks, and files, then organizes them into tax-ready reports. Its AI extracts vendor, amount, date, and tax details, assigns categories, checks deductibility, and identifies duplicates across sources. It can match receipts with bank and credit-card statement lines to flag missing or duplicate records. When both income and expenses are present, it can build a profit-and-loss report; other reports cover spending, mileage, and year-end summaries. Exports include QuickBooks or Xero files and a ZIP of receipts. Accountants can invite clients, work in act-as mode without a client password, and use a multi-client dashboard. ExpenseBot runs in a browser on phones, tablets, and computers, with no download required. The free accountant client-management option does not include client scanning unless the client subscribes or the accountant sponsors it. Per-seat plans are $10 a month or $100 a year; past-year access options are also listed.
