The best way to get receipts to your accountant
One file per account per period, with the totals summed on top and every source document legible behind them, in a format their software can also read. That is the whole answer. The shoebox, the WhatsApp album and the loose email attachments all fail the same way: they transfer the sorting work to the most expensive hourly rate in the relationship.
What the accountant does with what you send
They reconcile documents against bank lines, capture the numbers into their system, check which slips support VAT claims, and file the evidence for the five year window. Every step is faster when the documents arrive dated, totalled and grouped by period, and slower when they arrive as 214 photos taken in one go on the 30th.
A pile also hides its own gaps. When the records arrive as a summed period, a missing week is visible immediately, while it is still recoverable.
Slipsort keeps every slip legible for as long as SARS can ask.
Scan in about a second, numbers read for you, one pack per month for your accountant.
Get Slipsort free on iPhoneThe handover that works
A PDF pack per account per month: cover page with total spend, VAT input total, slip count and how many qualify as valid tax invoices, then one page per slip with the image and its extracted numbers side by side. Alongside it, a CSV with the same rows, because retyping from a PDF is the same wasted hour in different clothing.
This is precisely what Slipsort exports. Download the pack and email it, share it straight from the phone, or send a view-only link; the CSV rides along on the Sorted plan.
Month-end in four minutes
If capture happened daily, month-end is: open Packs, pick the account and month, glance at the preview, build, send. The four hours of sorting were spent already, four seconds at a time, at tills throughout the month.
Quick answers
- Can my accountant open the pack without Slipsort?
- Yes. The pack is an ordinary PDF and the CSV opens in any spreadsheet or imports into accounting software. Nobody needs an account to receive your records.
- What if a slip is missing from the month?
- The pack preview lists what is in the period before you build, so a thin week shows up while the slip might still be findable. Unconfirmed slips are flagged rather than silently included.
