Expense Management

Expense management software where the AI does the coding

Snap a receipt and the AI reads it, codes it to the right account, applies the tax, and matches it to your card feed. HelloBooks turns expense management from a month-end data-entry chore into something that happens the moment money leaves the business.

From receipt to reconciled, automatically

Traditional expense tools collect receipts and leave the accounting to you. HelloBooks reads each receipt with OCR, extracts the vendor, amount, date, and tax, codes it against your chart of accounts, and reconciles it to the matching card transaction — end to end, no spreadsheet.

Spend that used to pile up until month-end is captured and categorized as it happens, so your expense numbers and your profit picture are always current.

  • OCR receipt and bill capture — photograph it and the AI reads the line items
  • Auto-coding to the right account at 95%+ accuracy, learning your patterns
  • Approval workflows for team spend, with roles and permissions
  • Automatic matching to your bank and credit-card feed
  • Tax handling built in: GST, VAT, and sales tax across 8 countries
  • Mileage, reimbursements, and claims tracked alongside card spend

Built for teams, not just solo spend

As a team grows, expense management becomes an approvals problem. HelloBooks adds submit-and-approve flows so employees capture spend on mobile, managers approve in a tap, and finance sees a clean, coded, reconciled trail — without chasing paper.

Everything posts straight to the ledger, so there is no export-import step between your expense tool and your books. It is one system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the receipt scanning work?
Photograph or upload a receipt and the AI reads it with OCR — extracting vendor, date, amount, and tax — then codes it to the right account and matches it to your card feed. You review and approve the exceptions.
Can I set up expense approvals for my team?
Yes. Employees submit expenses from mobile, approvers sign off in the app, and finance gets a coded, reconciled record. Roles and permissions control who can submit, approve, and post.
Does it handle tax on expenses?
Yes. Input GST, VAT, and sales tax are captured and posted correctly for all eight supported countries, so your tax returns and reclaims are accurate.
Is expense management included for free?
Yes. Expense and receipt capture is included on the permanent Free Plan with no credit card. The Free Plan includes 5,000 AI credits a month for OCR and categorization.
How is this different from expense tracking?
Expense tracking is the capture-and-categorize layer; expense management adds approvals, reimbursements, and team controls. See the expense tracking page for the lighter-weight workflow.
