3 Tips for Organizing Digital Receipts

If you’re running a small business, you probably don’t want to invest in a specific software application to organize digital receipts. There are some free alternatives out there that will work just as well.

1) Google docs or Evernote: If you have an email from one of these companies (or some other service) attached to your receipt, it should upload into either Google docs or Evernote.

2) Web-based document management services: These are more similar to Evernote and Google docs than to dedicated accounting software. That means they have some more specific features, but don’t always feel quite as robust or intuitive. Dropbox Business, Google Drive, or One Drive are good options if you like that style.

3) Cloud-based accounting software: If you’re looking for dedicated functionality, these solutions make it easy to organize and search your entire set of digital receipts. They might also integrate with more advanced features like invoicing, payroll, or bookkeeping. Since they are specifically tailored toward small businesses, they tend to be intuitive to use and cheaper than many alternatives.
