iPhone
AI scans receipts — paper, PDF, or email — and tracks VAT for HMRC. Push to Xero or QuickBooks. Share with your accountant before self-assessment.
SparkReceipt is a receipt scanner and expense tracker for UK sole traders, freelancers, and small business owners. Snap any receipt and the app extracts the merchant, amount, date, VAT, and category in seconds. Forward email receipts or upload PDFs and SparkReceipt files the lot.
AI RECEIPT SCANNER WITH OCR
The OCR receipt scanner reads paper receipts, PDF invoices, and forwarded email receipts in any language and currency. Smart categorisation is based on the products on the receipt, not just the merchant name, so business expenses land in the right account from day one.
EMAIL INBOX AUTO-SCANNING
Connect Gmail or Outlook and SparkReceipt finds and imports email receipts as they arrive. No more digging through your inbox at month end or before your VAT return. You stay in control: review, approve, and exclude senders any time.
FORWARD EMAIL RECEIPTS
Prefer to file receipts manually? Forward eReceipts to your personal SparkReceipt address and the AI handles the rest. Useful for shared inboxes or accounts you don't want to connect directly.
INCOME, EXPENSES, AND PROFIT/LOSS TRACKING
Track income alongside expenses for real-time profit and loss across your business. Tag expenses by client, project, or trip. Convert any currency at accurate historical daily rates, so the figures still add up when it's time to file with HMRC.
XERO AND QUICKBOOKS INTEGRATION
Push categorised receipts straight into Xero or QuickBooks Online, or export reports as PDF, Excel, or CSV when your accountant asks. Webhooks and a public API let you plug SparkReceipt into your existing workflow.
SHARE WITH YOUR ACCOUNTANT
Invite your accountant directly into SparkReceipt or share a secure link. Stop emailing receipts as attachments. Set time limits to auto-hide shared receipts after tax season.
TEAM COLLABORATION
Invite teammates and keep everyone's receipts and expenses organised in one secure place. Sort by category, tag, or user, and approve expense reports together.
CLOUD STORAGE THAT WORKS EVERYWHERE
Documents are encrypted and backed up in the cloud. Access them from iPhone, iPad, or any browser via the SparkReceipt web app at no extra cost.
POWERFUL SEARCH
Find any receipt by name, merchant, amount, tag, category, or even text inside the image. The OCR text is fully searchable.
