Accounting Integration

Import Receipts Straight into Your Accounting Stack

Map receipts to GL accounts, export CSV/JSON, and bulk upload to QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Sage, or custom ERPs.

Finance teams spend five minutes per receipt keying amounts into accounting software, multiplying into hours per close cycle.

ReceiptFlow extracts vendor, date, amount, tax, and categories once, then exports in formats tailored to each platform. Map columns, save templates, and push to QuickBooks Online/Desktop, Xero, Sage, Zoho, or custom APIs.

The Problem

Every accounting system requires expense data in a different format. QuickBooks wants certain column headers, Xero expects different date formats, Sage needs specific account codes. Finance teams manually retype data from receipts into each system—vendor, date, amount, tax, category, payment method.

Manual entry for 100 receipts takes over 8 hours at 5 minutes per receipt. Typos are common, especially with vendor names and account numbers. Transposed digits in amounts cause reconciliation nightmares. Category misclassifications trigger audit findings.

Batch import features exist in most platforms, but preparing CSV files with proper formatting is still manual work. Column mappings must be perfect or imports fail. Date formats must match exactly. One malformed row can reject an entire batch.

The Solution

ReceiptFlow extracts receipt data once using AI, then provides pre-built export templates for major accounting platforms. Each template maps fields to the format that platform expects: QuickBooks CSV format, Xero API schema, Sage import structure, or FreshBooks bulk upload format.

The mapping interface lets you drag-and-drop fields to match your chart of accounts. Map ReceiptFlow categories to your GL account codes. Set default expense accounts or routing rules based on vendor or amount. Save templates for reuse across monthly close cycles.

Bulk export jobs can be scheduled (monthly, weekly) or triggered on-demand. For API-connected platforms, receipts flow automatically from processing to accounting software without manual export. Attachment bundling includes the enriched PDF alongside each transaction for audit trails.

Platform-Specific Integration

QuickBooks integration supports both Online and Desktop versions. CSV exports match QuickBooks' expected format with columns for Date, Vendor, Account, Amount, Tax, and Class. API integration (QuickBooks Online only) creates transactions directly without manual import. Receipts attach to transactions automatically for complete documentation.

Xero integration uses the Xero API schema for direct transaction creation. Contact matching links receipts to existing vendors automatically. Multi-currency support handles foreign expense claims with automatic conversion. Receipts attach to line items as supporting documents visible in Xero's transaction view.

FreshBooks, Wave, Sage, and Zoho Books each receive CSV exports optimized for their bulk upload features. Templates include category mapping to match your configured chart of accounts. Custom field support handles business-specific metadata requirements across any platform.

Who This Is For

Essential for finance teams and accountants who manage expenses across multiple clients or need fast monthly closing. Eliminate manual entry while maintaining perfect accounting system integration.
