How do co-founders track spending together?

Each person captures their own receipts under the agreed workspaces, and exports combine the picture. Formal multi-user controls are the point where dedicated accounting software takes over — Receni keeps the records clean until then.

Can this help with investor due diligence?

It helps you show up prepared: dated, categorized, exportable records of company spending from day one. Your lawyers and accountants run the process; Receni means the receipts exist.

We buy tools in several currencies — is that handled?

Yes — receipts record in the currency you paid, so a subscription in euros and a conference in pounds stay accurate in your records.

What happens at year-end close?

Export the year's categorized expenses per workspace or overall. Your accountant gets clean itemized data for the books — no reconstructing twelve months from card statements.

Receni for startups

Watch the runway,not the paperwork

Laptops for new hires, a stack of SaaS renewals, team dinners after the launch — early-stage spending is fast and scattered. Scan each receipt and burn stays visible before the books exist.

Sound familiar?

Moving fast breaks bookkeeping

Burn is a feeling, not a number

You know roughly what payroll costs. It's the other spending — tools, equipment, meals, travel — that scatters across cards and founders' pockets until the monthly surprise.

Subscriptions multiply in the dark

Every experiment adds a tool; nobody cancels anything. Auto-renewals stack up until the SaaS line quietly rivals a salary.

Someday, someone will ask for records

Your accountant at year-end, an investor in diligence, the tax authority eventually — early receipts get asked about later. 'It was on someone's personal card' is not an answer that ages well.

How Receni helps

Built-in answers for startups

Scan it the day it happens

Snap the receipt before the standup. Receni's AI reads merchant, date, total, and category in seconds — no expense-report ceremony.

Spending by team or project

Keep a workspace per function — product, marketing, ops — or per experiment. See where the burn actually goes.

Non-payroll burn, visualized

Dashboards break spending into equipment, software, meals, and travel by month. The trend line is your early-warning system.

Budgets before the CFO

Set monthly limits per category and see overruns while they're small. Financial discipline that fits in a founder's pocket.

Accountant- and diligence-ready

Export categorized expenses as clean CSVs — for your accountant at close, or for the data room when someone asks.

Global tools, global travel

Tools billed in dollars, a conference in Berlin — receipts record in the currency you paid, so records stay accurate across borders.

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

Pre-seed, our 'finance stack' was three personal cards and optimism. Scanning everything into per-team workspaces gave us a real burn number — and when our accountant finally came on, we handed over a CSV instead of an apology.

FAQ

Startups questions, answered

No — Receni doesn't issue cards, approve requests, or process reimbursements. It's the lightweight layer before all that: capture every receipt, categorize it, and keep burn visible until you graduate to heavier tooling.
