Receipts → books, for Aussie small business

Your receipts live in the glovebox. Your books don't have to.

Snap a photo of any receipt in Telegram. Glovebox Receipts reads it, sorts out the GST, asks one quick question if it needs to, and files it straight into your books for your accountant.

How it works

Snap it. Tap it. Done.

No spreadsheets, no logins, no shoebox at tax time. If you can send a photo, you can keep your books.

1

Snap the receipt

Send a photo to the bot in Telegram, straight from the job, the ute or the counter. PDFs work too.

2

Answer one question

Business, personal, or some of each? One tap. It remembers your regular shops, so next time there's nothing to answer.

3

It's in the books

The bill lands in your books as a draft, photo attached and GST sorted, ready for your accountant to check and post.

Made for Australia

The boring GST bits, handled.

Overseas apps guess. Glovebox Receipts reads the receipt, then applies Australian rules in plain code, the same way every time.

10%

GST read from the receipt, or worked out from GST-inclusive prices when it isn't printed.

Bread ≠ paper

GST-free items like basic food are kept apart from taxable ones on mixed receipts.

$82.50

Over the tax-invoice threshold without an ABN? Flagged, so GST isn't claimed by mistake.

ABN ✓

Supplier ABNs are read off the receipt, checked for validity and kept with the bill.

1 July

Financial year and BAS quarters, not calendar years.

5 years

Original photos kept and backed up nightly, ready if the ATO asks.

Always know where you stand

One page. Three numbers. No jargon.

Owners see what they've spent and what GST they can claim. Accountants get the detailed view: filters, totals by category and the BAS pack.

Questions

Fair questions.

Do I need to install anything?

Just Telegram, the free messaging app. If you can send a photo, you can use it. Accountants use a normal web page; no Telegram needed.

What if the photo is blurry or it gets something wrong?

It tells you and asks for a clearer photo. If it's read something wrong, tap "Fix something" and correct the shop, amount or date in a few taps.

Does it post anything to my books by itself?

No. Every receipt becomes a draft. Your bookkeeper or accountant checks and posts it, or sends it back to you with a note.

Where is my data kept?

Receipts and books are stored on servers in Australia and backed up nightly. Photos are read by an AI service (Anthropic's Claude) to pull out the details.

Which accounting software does it work with?
