For AU sole traders drowning in shoebox receipts

The weekly nag that keeps your receipts organised — so your accountant gets a clean quarterly pack.

You're not bad at admin; admin just never reminded you. Receipt Rescue nags you every Sunday at 6pm, takes your receipt photos, files them under your categories, and hands your accountant a tidy pack at quarter end. No bank-switching, no percentage of your income, no new accountant.

A quarter, on the ledger

Here's what changes, week by week.

Not features — the actual rhythm of a quarter with the nag running. If this rhythm doesn't describe your problem, this product isn't for you.

WK 1–9

Sunday nags keep the pile near zero. One SMS + one email digest a week. You snap or forward the docket; categories apply themselves from your rule map. The ambiguous ones wait in a "Needs your call" bucket — nobody guesses on your behalf.

WK 10–12

Escalation cadence ahead of the ATO's quarterly due dates. Firmer reminders, gap flags on missing weeks — keyed to the published dates (28 Oct, 28 Feb, 28 Apr, 28 Jul), never personalised tax advice.

Q-END + 7

The quarterly expense pack lands. Cover page, per-category amount totals, CSV ledger, receipt-images ZIP, gap report, accountant handover checklist. You hand it over; they do the tax part. That was always the deal — we just made your half painless.

Prototype note: the service design above is staged. Solicitor clearance (TASA/TPB, Spam Act, Privacy Act) is pending before any client onboarding — see the boundary box below.

How it works

Nag → snap → filed. That's the whole product.

The target customer is definitionally the person who ignores admin — so reminders, not features, are the product.

Sunday 6pm: the nag

A weekly SMS + email check-in: "Any receipts this week?" Escalates in the three weeks before ATO quarterly due dates. Snooze or pause anytime from the preference centre — weekly, fortnightly, or deadline-only; SMS-only or email-only.

Snap or forward

Photo upload via a magic link, or just email-forward dockets to your intake address. OCR transcribes what's printed on the docket — merchant, date, total, GST shown — never computed or guessed.

Filed under your rules

Receipts land in categories you defined at onboarding — strictly your rule map. Anything ambiguous goes in "Needs your call" for you to decide. Never ours to interpret, never tax treatment.

Honest comparison

Why not just use Hnry?

Fair question — Hnry is a registered tax agent with automated expense capture and filing, and it's good at what it does. Here's the honest math.

Stick with Hnry if…

Hnry charges 1% + GST of income — below roughly $32k annual income that's at or under our flat $29/mo. Lower earners: Hnry is likely the better deal, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
You want filing and tax calculations done for you by a registered agent.

Receipt Rescue fits if…

You earn above ~$32k: flat $29/mo undercuts 1%-of-income pricing, and the gap grows with income.
You already have an accountant you like — we're a nag-and-file layer on top, not a replacement. No bank-switching, no re-platforming your money.
Your actual problem is the shoebox, not the tax return.

The boundary is the product — read this before anything else

Receipt Rescue is a record-keeping and reminder service. It is explicitly not a tax service, not a BAS service, and not a substitute for your registered BAS agent, tax agent, or accountant. All tax interpretation stays with you and your agent.

No BAS-label figures, no GST totals, no pre-filling or reviewing BAS forms.
No GST-treatment or claimability advice — every tax question gets a scripted deflection to your agent.
No lodgement with the ATO. We never hold out as a BAS agent, tax agent, accountant, or adviser.
Not for businesses with payroll, companies/trusts, monthly BAS lodgers, or anyone who wants lodgement done for them — we'll point you to a registered BAS agent instead.

Gate: solicitor clearance (TASA/TPB) is pending before any onboarding. This page describes the staged design.

FAQ

Real objections, answered straight

Do you prepare or lodge my BAS?

No — never. We don't prepare, review, or lodge BAS, and we don't promise any tax outcome or GST saving. Your quarterly pack goes to your accountant or registered BAS agent; the tax part is theirs. If you ask us a tax-treatment question, you'll get a polite scripted deflection, not an answer.

So what exactly does my accountant receive?

A pack delivered 7 days after quarter end: a cover page, per-category amount totals (amounts only — no GST totals, no BAS labels), a CSV ledger, a ZIP of receipt images, a gap report flagging missing weeks, and a handover checklist. Clean input for them to do the professional part.

I'm a company / have employees / lodge BAS monthly. Can I join?

Not yet — and we won't pretend otherwise. Receipt Rescue is designed for sole traders without payroll. Companies, trusts, monthly lodgers, and anyone wanting lodgement done for them should go straight to a registered BAS agent.

What do the nags cost me in attention?

One SMS + one email digest per week by default, firmer in the three weeks before ATO quarterly due dates. You can switch to fortnightly or deadline-only, SMS-only or email-only, and pause or snooze anytime from the preference centre.

Is my receipt data private?

Receipts contain real financial data, so this matters: intake and storage copy is covered by our staged privacy design, but customer-facing consent and privacy wording is pending solicitor review before any onboarding. We will never sell your data, and tax interpretation of it is never performed by us.

When can I actually sign up?

Not yet — this is a staged prototype. Solicitor clearance on the record-keeping-only design is the gating step before any client onboarding or accountant pilot. The checkout on this site is in test mode.

Your accountant can't file what you never send them.
