Step 2: Forward images of receipts and bills to QuickBooks #

First, capture images of your receipts and bills:

  1. Take a picture of your bill or receipt on your mobile device. The photo must be a pdf, jpeg, jpg, gif, or png.
  2. Make sure each image or file contains only one receipt.
  3. Email the image to your custom email address @qbodocs.com. It may take a few minutes to send.

We’ll take care of the rest. QuickBooks automatically pulls dates, amounts, vendor, and last four digits of the credit card from the image.

Note: You can send multiple receipt images in one email. The email attachment’s file size must be between 46KB to 20 MB.

Step 3: Review and categorize your bills and receipts #

Now your bills and receipts are in QuickBooks. Follow these steps to review and categorize them into the correct accounts.
