Expensify
Tap a star to rate
Expensify automates receipt capture through SmartScan OCR, which reads the text off a photo and extracts the merchant, date, and amount. This saves time during tax prep: you've already got organized expense records instead of a shoebox. For 1099 contractors, building a documented trail of deductible expenses throughout the year beats scrambling to reconstruct them in March.
The app generates tax-ready expense reports and integrates with accounting software for easy reconciliation. Contractors can also track mileage and attach receipts to specific projects or clients. The efficiency gain comes from capturing expenses in the moment (snap a photo) rather than manually keying them later, making it realistic to track every deduction.
