Snap the receipt.
Approve the entry.
Take a photo or drop in a PDF. Sedna's AI receipt scanner reads the vendor, date, and total, suggests the account, and lines up the journal entry. You check it, post it, and the receipt stays attached for tax time.
Retire the shoebox.
Receipts pile up, details get typed in by hand, and the one you need at tax time is never where you left it.
- A shoebox of receipts, sorted once a yearSnap each receipt the day you get it
- Typing the vendor, date, and amount into every entryThe details are filled in for you to check
- Digging for the receipt behind a charge at tax timeThe receipt is on the entry it backs up
- The same charge booked twice, once by hand and once from the receiptThe receipt is matched to the entry you already have
How receipt scanning works
From a crumpled receipt to a posted entry in three steps, and the last one is always yours.
Capture
Take a photo with your phone, or drag in JPG, PNG, WebP, and PDF files. Drop a whole stack at once.
Read
Sedna reads the vendor, date, total, and how you paid, then suggests an account from your own chart of accounts.
Review and post
Check the details and post a new entry, or attach the receipt to an entry you already booked.
Less typing, and proof for every deduction.
Receipt scanning is part of your books, not an app on the side, so every receipt ends up where an accountant or an auditor would look for it.
The receipt lives on the entry
When you post, the image is stored on the journal entry it backs up. Months later, open the entry and the receipt is right there: no folder to search, no email to dig up.
Finds what you already booked
Recorded the charge already? Sedna looks for entries close to the receipt's total and date, ranks them by vendor and reference number, and lets you attach the receipt instead of booking it twice.
Your accounts, not generic categories
Suggestions come from your own chart of accounts, so a receipt lands where your books expect it.
No double uploads
Sedna recognizes a file that's already in your receipts. It reuses the one you have instead of adding a copy, and a receipt that's been posted can't be booked a second time.
Built for the whole team
Editors, accountants, and admins can upload and approve receipts. Viewers can see them without changing anything.
Every entity kept apart
A receipt belongs to the business it was uploaded to, so nothing drifts between your LLCs.
It does the reading. You make the call.
Scanning fills in a receipt's details. It never changes your books on its own.
A person approves every entry
The scan fills in the details. Someone on your team decides what gets posted to your books.
Edit anything first
Change the vendor, date, amount, or account on the review screen. What you save is what gets posted.
Not a receipt? It says so
A screenshot or a stray photo is flagged instead of turned into an entry. If it really is a receipt, you can override the flag.
Read it again
Faded thermal paper or a blurry shot? Run the scan again on any receipt still in review, or type the details yourself.
Questions about receipt scanning
JPG, PNG, and WebP photos and PDF receipts, up to 10 MB each. You can drag in several files at once or take a photo with your phone's camera. HEIC photos from an iPhone work in browsers that can open them, such as Safari; elsewhere, save them as JPG first.
The vendor, date, total, currency, and how you paid, including the card's last four digits when they're printed. It also suggests which account the expense belongs in, chosen from your own chart of accounts. It reads the receipt's total, not individual line items or a separate tax amount.
No. Every scanned receipt waits for review. Someone on your team checks the details, then either posts a new journal entry or attaches the receipt to an entry that's already in your books.
Sedna looks through your existing journal entries for ones within about 1% of the receipt's total and a week of its date, then ranks them by vendor name and reference number. If it finds one, you can attach the receipt to that entry instead of creating a duplicate. It matches against entries in your books, not directly against bank feed transactions.
In private storage tied to the business you uploaded them to. Once posted, a receipt stays attached to its journal entry, so you can open it from the entry whenever you need the proof, at tax time or in an audit.
It's flagged as not a receipt rather than turned into an entry. If it really is a receipt, you can override the flag and review it like any other.
Yes. Every field can be edited before you post, so a crumpled or faded receipt never holds anything up. You can also run the scan again on any receipt that's still in review.
Yes. Every plan includes AI receipt scans each month, and paid plans include more. If a month's scans run out, you can keep uploading receipts and fill in the details yourself; they're reviewed, posted, and attached to entries the same way.
Anyone with the Editor, Accountant, or Admin role can upload, review, and post receipts. Viewers can see receipts but can't change them.
