Does Receni generate invoices or bill my clients?

No — Receni organizes the expense side. Export a clean, categorized CSV of an engagement's costs and attach it to the invoice from your billing tool.

I work with clients in other countries — how are currencies handled?

Receipts are recorded in the currency you paid, so a hotel in London and a dinner in Toronto stay accurate in your records instead of being mangled into guessed conversions.

What about the costs of running the practice itself?

Keep an overhead workspace for subscriptions, coworking, insurance, and conferences. Dashboards show the practice's true running cost separately from client work.

What happens at tax time?

Export a CSV of the year's categorized expenses across all workspaces. Your preparer gets clean itemized data for your Schedule C — client travel and overhead already separated.

Sound familiar?

Expenses that should be billable often aren't

Rebillable costs slip away

That client-site hotel and the taxi from the airport were billable — if you can find them at invoice time. Receipts lost between trips become margin quietly given away.

Engagements blur together

Two clients, three trips, one card statement. When costs aren't separated per engagement, invoicing takes forensic work and profitability per client is a guess.

The practice has overhead too

Subscriptions, coworking, professional insurance, conferences — the costs of being in business pile up across auto-renewals nobody reviews until they've doubled.

How Receni helps

Built-in answers for consultants

Scan in the taxi

Snap the hotel folio or dinner receipt on the way out. Receni's AI reads merchant, date, total, and category in seconds.

A workspace per engagement

Apex's travel stays with Apex. Each client or engagement keeps its own costs — ready for the invoice and for judging which work actually pays.

See practice overhead clearly

Dashboards break spending into travel, meals, and software by month — auto-renewals and creeping tool costs stop hiding.

Budgets for the bench months

Consulting income arrives in waves; costs don't have to. Set monthly limits for travel and tools and keep quiet months lean.

Invoice-ready itemization

Export an engagement's categorized expenses as a clean CSV to attach to your invoice — or the year's, for your tax preparer.

International clients covered

Engagements abroad? Receipts record in the currency you paid, so cross-border expense records stay accurate.

How it works

From pocketful of paper to organized records

Snap the receipt

Point your camera at any receipt — paper, email screenshot, or invoice. Receni's AI reads the merchant, date, total, and category in seconds.

Review and save

Check what the AI extracted before anything is stored. Adjust the category or amounts, pick the right workspace, and save with one tap.

Export when it matters

At tax time or month end, export clean CSV files your accountant can open directly — no shoebox, no retyping.

Example scenario

I used to eat half my rebillable expenses because reconstructing them at invoice time was too painful. Now each engagement has a workspace — the expense sheet attaches to the invoice in minutes.

FAQ

Consultants questions, answered

Yes — create a workspace per engagement and scan travel, meals, and materials straight into it. At invoice time, export that workspace's CSV and attach the itemized list.
