I was trying to create my own AI system for receipts before I discovered SparkReceipt, and I’m so glad I found it! It had everything I was planning to build—and more. I’ve started uploading receipts for both current and past years for my very small business, and so far, it’s been smooth sailing.

Uploading receipts is incredibly easy, even when I take a blurry photo or photograph a badly creased or water stained receipt. The accuracy is impressive. Yes, I still double-check the information, but it’s so much quicker than manually entering everything into an Excel sheet. What used to take me days is now done in just a few hours.

I did encounter a couple of challenges:

Multiple-page receipts: I wasn’t sure how to handle those at first. Thankfully, I got a quick response from support with clear instructions on how to upload them properly. (There’s probably an online tutorial somewhere, but I couldn’t find it.)
Refund receipts: I’m still figuring out the best way to handle these. The system isn’t always picking up all the right details, but it’s possible I’m not following the correct procedure yet.
I haven’t tried downloading files for a VAT return or end-of-year accounts just yet, but I’m feeling really optimistic! Normally, I’d spend an entire month sorting through receipts for EOY accounts. With SparkReceipt, it looks like I’ll be able to wrap it all up in just a few days (working on it for a few hours a day).

Overall, it’s been a huge time-saver, and I’m excited to see how much smoother my admin tasks become with this tool. Highly recommend giving it a try!
