Stop chasing receipts through texts, portals, and shoeboxes.
ReceiptRelay lets your client text a receipt photo like they already do. You get a clean review queue with vendor, date, amount, image-quality checks, and QuickBooks-ready notes.
Validation page: no payment yet. If enough bookkeepers join, the first beta focuses on SMS intake + QuickBooks review workflow.

“Can you retake that receipt on a flat surface? The amount is unreadable. Reply here — no portal needed.”
Narrow customer
Solo bookkeepers and small firms serving tradespeople, field-service crews, and cash-card-heavy local shops.
Paid problem
Receipt chasing consumes billable time, delays close, creates non-deductible expense buckets, and raises audit-documentation risk.
Landing test
Join the waitlist to see if a no-portal SMS intake workflow is worth building before a full product exists.
How it works
Keep the client behavior. Fix the bookkeeping workflow.
Client texts receipt
They send photos or PDFs to one dedicated number — no new login, no portal lecture.
Relay cleans the mess
OCR, duplicate checks, low-quality-image detection, missing-job prompts, and client-specific rules run in the background.
You review exceptions
A daily queue shows what is ready, what needs a client reply, and what should stay non-deductible.
Export with context
Push attachments and notes toward QuickBooks workflows once the metadata is complete enough.
Community evidence
This page is based on public complaint threads, not invented pain.
The strongest signal: existing receipt apps still fail when the end client refuses portals. The workflow must meet trades clients in SMS, then give bookkeepers control.
Clients still send blurry photos by text or keep receipts in a shoebox.
Some solo practitioners report 5–10 hours/week of document follow-up in busy season.
Late PDF dumps and grocery bags of receipts are still normal client behavior.
