Submit an Expense Receipt by Upload, Email or Text

Submit an Expense Receipt by Upload, Email or Text

Send receipts to Finofo by uploading them, emailing the workspace address or texting the workspace number. Each receipt becomes an expense.

At a glance

Send a receipt the way that suits you: drop it on a new expense, upload it with other documents, email it to your workspace address, or text a photo to the workspace number.

Finofo reads each receipt, fills in the merchant, date, amounts, tax and line items, and prepares the expense for you to check and submit.

How It Works

On New card expense and New reimbursable, "Each file becomes its own expense." Upload documents takes receipts along with other documents: "Documents are processed and classified automatically. Only upload purchase orders, invoices, packing slips, and expense receipts."

Every workspace has one email address and one text number, shown on the Upload documents page with a copy icon beside each, for example ap.ridgelinecoffee@inbox.finofo.com and +1 (403) 555-0160. Forward a receipt by email or text a photo of it. Emailed and texted files arrive in the Inbox, where sender rules decide whether they are processed straight away or wait in Needs review. For most receipts you only confirm what Finofo has already filled in.
