# Receipt Tracking In Canada

This page is for Canadian freelancers, sole proprietors, side hustlers, and small business owners who need a reliable way to organize business receipts.

## The problem

Receipts often end up scattered across email, PDFs, phone photos, wallets, folders, and spreadsheets. By tax time, it can be hard to know what was business-related, which tax fields were present, which category an expense belongs in, and whether the original receipt is still available.

Manual receipt tracking also creates common problems:

- Missing receipts.
- Duplicate receipts.
- Inconsistent categories.
- Unclear business versus personal spending.
- Time-consuming spreadsheet entry.
- Last-minute cleanup before filing or accountant handoff.

## How Stacko helps

Stacko gives Canadian users a receipt-first workflow:

- Store receipt images and PDFs with structured records.
- Use AI/OCR assistance to extract vendor, date, subtotal, total, GST, HST, PST, and notes.
- Review and correct extracted details.
- Sort expenses into Canadian business categories.
- Flag likely duplicate receipts.
- Keep records exportable for tax-time review.

The goal is to keep receipt organization happening throughout the year instead of rebuilding records at the deadline.

## What Stacko does not do

Stacko does not file taxes, remit taxes, replace an accountant, or guarantee that any receipt, expense, deduction, category, estimate, or export will be accepted by the CRA.

Stacko is not full accounting software. It does not provide payroll, invoicing, bank reconciliation, or a full general ledger.
