Receipt scanner

The receipt scanner that empties your shoebox.

For people who'd rather be sipping cocktails than digging through shoeboxes. Snap a receipt — we pull out the vendor, date, total, and GST, then you review and export to your accountant. Receipts handled.

No credit card required. 20 receipts a month, free.

A receipt scanner turns a photo of a receipt into clean, organised data — vendor, date, total, and tax — so you never retype a number. Lazy Finance does it from your phone: snap the receipt, we read it and categorise it, you give it a glance, and export to your accountant or accounting software. Less time in the shoebox, more time at the bar.

Snap. Forget. Done.

1

Snap

Photograph a receipt, forward it from your inbox, or drag in a PDF. Crumpled, faded, multiple receipts in one shot — we handle it.

2

Forget

We read the vendor, date, total, GST and line items, then sort it into the right category. No typing, no spreadsheet.

3

Done

Give it a glance, fix anything in a tap, and export to CSV, Excel or PDF for your accountant. The shoebox stays empty.

What you get with the scanner

Capture from anywhere

Phone camera, email forwarding, drag-and-drop PDFs. Your receipts come in the way you already collect them.

Vendor, date, total, tax

The fields that matter, pulled out automatically — including the GST, VAT or sales-tax split you always used to miss.

Auto-categorisation that learns

Receipts land sorted into categories, and the more you correct, the better the suggestions get over time.

Multi-receipt detection

Snap a pile of receipts in one photo and we separate them into individual records. One tap, many receipts handled.

Export to your accountant

CSV, Excel and PDF that import cleanly into Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB — or email straight to your bookkeeper.

Ready for tax time

GST and tax captured per receipt, so BAS, VAT returns and end-of-year are a tidy export instead of a shoebox archaeology dig.

Why a receipt scanner beats a shoebox

Everyone keeps receipts. Almost nobody enjoys what comes next — the Sunday afternoon spent flattening crumpled paper, squinting at faded totals, and typing numbers into a spreadsheet one row at a time. A receipt scanner skips all of that. You snap the receipt the moment you get it, and the data is captured while the paper is still warm from the till.

Lazy Finance is a receipt scanner app built for sole traders, small business owners, freelancers, and households who would rather run their lives than file paperwork. It reads vendor names, dates, totals, GST and line items, then sorts each receipt into a category you can adjust. It is not bookkeeping software and it is not a tax agent — it is the capture layer that gets your receipts clean and organised before they go to your accountant or into your expense workflow.

Keeping good records is also a legal expectation. The ATO asks businesses to keep records of their expenses for five years, and a clear digital copy of every receipt makes that effortless. When BAS or tax time rolls around, your receipts are already captured, categorised, and ready to export — no scramble, no missing paper, no shoebox.
