I won't lie, I chuck my receipts after I add them to quickbooks.

Still trying to figure out how to do that

I use the Quickbooks online app. Super easy to balance everything and when you add an expense it prompts you to take a picture of the receipt with your device. It then attaches it to the expense. Wham bam thank you mam!

Makes balancing the books pretty simple. I think my accountant may have charged me about $350 to set up my paper books into quickbooks the first time and now it's super easy for them to do my year end taxes. Saves money. I think I pay ~$9/month for the quickbooks.

I’ve got the desktop version, not sure if it does that

I think you can switch to the online version fairly easily. Then you simply log in on the website from a PC or through the app on your mobile device.

There's an app for that?? I just switched to Sage...I'll have to check if there is a similar option!

EDIT: There is! Except you have to have a cloud subscription on both Office365 and Sage. Neither of which I have. Sounds expensive!

About a year ago I tried Quickbooks online... quickly discovered you couldn't export your data and nixed that stat. Locked in forever at that point.
