Neat Receipts: A Review

If you know anything about me by now, you know that I am a lover of good organization.  So you can only imagine my joy when The Neat Company sent me the Neat Receipts Scanner.

Running a small business means that every aspect of that said business falls into your hands.  The one part that I tend to slack on is keeping up with the accounting and inputting receipts.  It's just a big task when receipts are coming in frequently and I can't possibly be hooked to the computer all day.  So they inevitably land in a file until future time allows...however, I never quite seem to make adequate time for them.  And you know the mess of them kills me!

So insert the Neat Receipts Scanner.  This tiny little thing, so sleek and handy scans in individual receipts with the touch of a button.  Up pops an image of the receipt and in enters the receipt information.  Not every line on every receipt was recognized which is a slight bummer but it still beats me typing in every tidbit.  This machine also allows you to export the info. into a spreadsheet which has me super duper happy.  It is honestly was so easy to use, I pushed the button, walked away and had a little edamame snack in between.

I must say as well that I appreciated the packaging.  It came tightly wrapped with simple instructions all labeled and written in plain terms.  If I love organization, I'm going to love nice packaging and attention to detail as well ;o)  I'm excited to use this for not only receipts but for J's drawings, keepsakes, documents, etc.  It's basically an all around paperless organizer and I now understand why it's called Neat Receipts, for it is rather neat.

Here's to going paperless!
