About Shoeboxed
Shoeboxed helps sole proprietors and small businesses scan and categorize their business expense receipts. This is not only helpful for maximizing tax deductions come tax time, but also in the case that their business is audited.
What makes Shoeboxed different is the plethora of ways Shoeboxed allows their customers to submit receipts for processing. Customers can submit receipts via Shoeboxed's free mobile apps, forward email receipts to their custom Shoeboxed email address, or mail their receipts to Shoeboxed using Magic Envelopes.
Shoeboxed will then scan the receipts and pull off the relevant information like vendor name, total amount, payment method and date. It will also categorize the receipts into one of the IRS's standard 15 expense categories. Shoeboxed also uses human-verification to ensure the accuracy of extracted data.

Shoeboxed fills a much needed purpose as a small business owner and keeps me better organized.
Reviewed on 04/05/2018
Pros
Ease and simplicity of sending in or uploaded my receipts and documents. Put them in an envelope and then they are there for me to easily find and reference.
Cons
The interface is a bit clunky. There are too many buttons to push to get the data the way I want to view it sometimes. Once you get used to it, you are fine but it could be more streamlined.

I'm a freelance illustrator (self-employed/small business) and way behind on taxes (have been delaying b/c of my lack of organization). I have years and years of receipts saved up in shoeboxes/chest of drawers that I have to pile through. I spent a few hours researching the best app to use to do this. After downloading a lot of software, I finally settled on SHOEBOXED. I'm going to slowly pile through my receipt (snapping photos of them) and find my write offs. The images are organized by the company and are searchable (in case you ever get audited). You can even just mail them your receipts (that doesn't work for me as well b/c I have to find my write offs). But going forward I'll probably use that service as well. None of these reasons are why I'm actually leaving this review (see Pros below).
Pros
Having just downloaded the app on my phone I still had some questions about the functionality of the app and its service (are the receipts searchable...how so? ...how are they organized?). I decided to call...low and behold someone answered. I can't tell you how helpful CRM was on the phone. He spoke clearly and answered my random (and very specific) questions concisely. He helped me find which package was best for me and my situation (thousands of receipts piled up for years) ...without hard selling me on anything. I hadn't even signed up for the service officially yet and he sent a quick follow-up email. It was a very calming experience in the stressful situation that is my tax headache. If any higher ups are reading this... I'd recommend giving CRM a big fat raise, but don't promote him to your department ...unless you want to be working for him soon. I'm seriously impressed that I could download a very functional/helpful phone app and a few minutes later be able to call and talk to an actual service representative with no hold, no dial tone button pressing, who was completely knowledgeable about the product he was supporting. My entire field is full of self-employed workers and I'll be recommending this product to every single one because of the experience I had with the app and the customer service.
Cons
The only way to sign in to leave this review was through LinkedIn...a site I haven't used in 8 years (and was attached to old email accounts/password) and frankly...annoyed me with all their updates/emails. BUT, the customer service experience was so good...I'll eat the next 8 years of annoying Linkin update emails...hopefully they don't get hacked again (didn't that happen like 5 years ago).

Receipt storage, less printing, email forwarding receipts
Receipt storage, less printing, email forwarding receipts
Pros
I like that I can forward receipts to an email, I like that it pulls the info from the receipt and that I can search for info to pull up relevant receipts
Cons
I don't like that I always need to switch accounts when I sign it, I don't get why I have an account in my name and I have to switch to the business one (I purchased it for business). The info taken from receipt images are not always correct and makes it hard to find and reconcile. Also don't like that it doesn't account well for different currencies, we are a Canadian company but deal with many currencies.

Overall excellent!
Reviewed on 01/05/2018
Pros
Easy to use! It's just taking a picture of your receipt and uploading. You can categorize and even add categories that the software doesn't come preloaded with.
Cons
Sometimes it takes a bit to get the receipts completely uploaded which can be cumbersome when you have several receipts at one time.

Pros
I like how easy it is. Other softwares have been time consuming. I also love how it auto calculates my costs.
Cons
It would be cool if you offered some knowledge for small businesses right away regarding taxes and what to expect. Maybe a short write up for each of the break down categories.
