How to Track Your Expenses Without a Shoebox of Receipts

Let's be honest - keeping track of receipts is a pain. You're busy on jobs, not sat behind a desk filing paperwork. But come tax time, those missing receipts mean missed deductions.

The old way doesn't work

The shoebox method is outdated. Receipts fade, get lost, or end up in the wash with your work clothes. Spreadsheets take hours to maintain and are easy to fall behind on.

Enter: bank feed automation

Modern expense tracking connects directly to your bank account using Open Banking. Every transaction automatically pulls through - no manual entry required.

How it works with Bosh

1. Connect your bank - One-time secure setup using Open Banking
2. Automatic categorisation - Our AI recognises suppliers and categorises transactions
3. Review & confirm - Quick swipe to approve or recategorise
4. Done - Your records are always up to date

Smart supplier recognition

Bosh knows Screwfix is materials. Fuel stations are fuel. Costa on the way to a job? Personal (but we'll flag it in case you were meeting a client).

What about cash transactions?

Still dealing in cash sometimes? No problem. Snap a photo of the receipt in-app and we'll categorise it. Takes 10 seconds.

The mileage problem solved

Mileage is the biggest deduction most tradespeople claim - and the hardest to track. Bosh can automatically track your business journeys and calculate the deduction for you.

Always audit-ready

HMRC requires you to keep records for 5 years. With digital records in Bosh, everything's stored securely in the cloud. If you ever get a tax enquiry, you have everything at your fingertips.

Time saved = money earned

The average tradesperson spends 4-6 hours a month on bookkeeping. With Bosh, it's more like 10 minutes. That's an extra day of work every month.
