Handyman Guide

How to Automate Expense & Receipt Tracking as a Handyman

You bought a $220 laser level at Home Depot and drove 45 miles to the Singh job, but now the receipt is crumpled in your truck and you can't remember the mileage. Come tax time, that's $3,000 in missed deductions because tracking expenses between jobs feels impossible.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Shoving paper receipts into the glovebox or snapping blurry photos, then trying to rebuild mileage logs months later for taxes.

45 minutes a week organizing, plus hours at tax time guessing numbers
  1. Snap a photo of the receipt or toss it in the dashboard console
  2. Try to recall exactly how many miles you drove between the hardware store and the client's house
  3. Wait until April to dump a shoebox of faded receipts on your accountant's desk
  4. Guess at mileage totals and miss out on big tax deductions
