01 - Capture
Add a receipt
Snap a photo, drop in a PDF, or bulk-upload a backlog. Stacko keeps the original and reads the details.
Canadian-built · For self-employed Canadians
Stop typing in receipts.
Snap a receipt and Stacko reads it — vendor, date, GST/HST/PST, total — then sorts it into CRA-aligned categories with the original attached as proof. At tax time you hand over an accountant-ready package instead of a shoebox.

How it works
From a pile of receipts to reviewable records.
Three steps, and none of them is data entry.
02 - Review
Confirm the details
Vendor, date, GST/HST/PST, total, and a CRA-aligned category — extracted for you, checked by you. Fix anything in a click; the receipt stays attached.
03 - Hand off
Export when it matters
See spending by category and period all year, then export clean records — for you, or for the accountant who no longer has to sort a shoebox.
What you get
The bookkeeper’s read, from one photo.
Stacko does the part small business owners avoid: turning receipts into clean, categorized, evidence-backed expense records.
One photo does the typing
Stacko reads vendor, date, subtotal, GST, HST, PST, and total off Canadian receipts — the fields a bookkeeper would key in by hand.
Proof stays attached
The original image or PDF lives with the extracted record, so every number has its evidence one click away.
CRA-aligned categories
Expenses land on business categories that map to the T2125 lines a Canadian return actually uses.
Duplicates get caught
Likely duplicates are flagged before they clutter your records or inflate your totals.
See where the money goes
Spending by category, vendor, and period — and what your tracked deductions may mean for your tax picture.
Hand-off-ready exports
CSV and accountant-ready summaries, so nobody rebuilds the year from a folder of files in April.
Works with your AIBeta
Ask your AI assistant about your own receipts.
Stacko has an MCP server, so you can connect Claude or ChatGPT to your account and ask questions in plain language. Your assistant can search receipts, total a category, or summarize deductions — read-only, with your permission, and you can disconnect anytime. In beta now, rolling out to paid plans.
“What did I spend on materials in June?”
“Total my meals deductions this year.”
“Find the Home Depot receipt from March.”
Is this you?
Built for the way self-employed Canadians actually work.
You freelance or contract
Tools, software, mileage, coffee-shop meetings — receipts pile up everywhere. Stacko keeps business purchases captured, categorized, and export-ready as you go.
T4 job plus a side hustle
Business and personal spending share one card and one camera roll. Stacko keeps side-hustle expenses cleanly separated, so tax season isn’t archaeology.
Your receipts live in a shoebox (or inbox)
Bulk-upload the backlog. Stacko reads each receipt, sorts it, and flags the duplicates — a year of paper becomes a reviewable table.
Trust
Trust the evidence, not a black box.
Every number in Stacko traces back to a receipt you can open. That’s the design: source-backed records you can check, export, and hand to a professional.
Evidence attached
Every extracted field sits beside the receipt it came from. Review it, correct it, rely on it — in that order.
Yours to take
Export everything, anytime, in formats accountants already use. Request deletion and your data goes with you. No lock-in.
A clear boundary, on purpose
Stacko organizes and prepares; you or your accountant file. It never files for you, and it doesn’t pretend to be your accountant.
Built in Canada, for Canadian taxes
GST, HST, and PST fields. CRA/T2125-aligned categories. CAD pricing. Built for the tax context you actually operate in.

FAQ
The honest questions.
Who is Stacko for?
Canadian freelancers, sole proprietors, side hustlers, and small business owners who need receipt-first expense tracking without taking on full accounting software.
Does Stacko file my taxes?
No — on purpose. Stacko does the pre-accounting: it captures receipts, extracts the details, categorizes expenses, and produces clean records. You or your accountant file, and that boundary is a feature, not a gap.
Do I need a paid plan?
Yes. Stacko is a paid business receipt tracker with no free app tier — the price is the filter. The public Canadian tax calculator stays free, no account needed.
Can I use Stacko with Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, in beta. Stacko has an MCP server, so AI assistants that support MCP connectors (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) can search your receipts and summarize your expenses — read-only, with your permission. The connection is rolling out to paid plans.
Is Stacko a full accounting platform?
No. There is no ledger, payroll, invoicing, or bank reconciliation. Stacko is intentionally narrower: receipts, expenses, categories, insights, and exports — the records layer under whatever you or your accountant use to file.
What happens to my data?
Your receipts are encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored under authenticated, per-account access controls. You can export everything and request account deletion anytime. We never sell your data.
Walk into tax season with the year already sorted.
