SnapBooks
For contractors & trades

Receipts from the job site sorted before you leave.

Materials, tools, fuel, parking: contractors pile up receipts fast, usually in a truck cab or a pocket. SnapBooks turns each one into a tidy expense the moment you snap it.

The receipts that go missing

Supply-store receipts fade on the dashboard, tool purchases get mixed up with personal ones, and small cash buys never get recorded. Each one is a business cost you may be able to claim, but only if you can prove it.

Tax rules reward good records. The Australian Taxation Office, for example, says you need records to support every business deduction, and that you can only claim the business part of something you also use privately. Read what counts as a business expense.

Built for work in the field

  • Snap on site. Photograph a receipt on your phone; SnapBooks reads the supplier, date, tax and total, including the line items.
  • A note for each job. Add a note to an expense so you know which job or client it belongs to.
  • Vehicle and mileage. Log drives between sites with GPS in the Android app and keep a record that stands up.
  • Supplier invoices by email. Forward e-receipts and invoices, and SnapBooks turns them into expenses.
  • QuickBooks Online sync. Map categories to your expense accounts and send verified expenses with the receipt attached. See the QuickBooks integration.
  • Your crew on one workspace. With Team, up to 10 people share expenses, with roles and expense approvals.

Frequently asked questions

Can SnapBooks read long, itemized supply receipts?

Yes. SnapBooks reads the line items as well as the totals, so you can see what was bought on a long supply-store receipt.

Does my crew need their own accounts?

On the Team plan, crew members join your shared workspace with their own sign-in. You choose each person’s role (admin, member or viewer) and can approve expenses.

Will it work with my bookkeeper?

Yes. Export PDF, CSV or Excel reports, or invite your bookkeeper to a Team workspace as a viewer.
