How to Automate Expense & Receipt Tracking as a Architect

You just dropped $450 at Reprographics for the Nakamura permit set and $280 for the Brennan filing fee. Both hit the same credit card. Now you're guessing which job to bill later, risking $1,200 in lost revenue per quarter.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Shoving receipts into a drawer or snapping photos that rot in your camera roll until tax season.

45 minutes a week sorting and allocating
  1. Gather paper receipts from Reprographics, city clerks, and site supply runs stuffed in your wallet.
  2. Snap photos of receipts with your phone but forget to label them right away.
  3. Wait until month-end to open your project management spreadsheet.
  4. Manually type amounts and try to recall which project that $450 print run belonged to.
  5. Realize some receipts are faded or gone, leaving expenses unallocated.
