n-Receipts by Wave Scans What You Give It. The Gap Is Everything You Didn't.
Receipts by Wave reads a photographed or forwarded receipt and pulls out the vendor, amount, and date, then adds it to your Wave account as a categorized expense automatically. It's a genuinely solid free tool for the mechanics. Where small businesses still lose time is upstream, a receipt that never gets photographed before it's thrown away, a vendor invoice that lands in email and never gets forwarded, a freelancer's bank feed that needs manual categorization because Wave doesn't recognize the merchant.
What we build around Receipts by Wave
The most common fix we build: monitoring an email inbox or a shared folder for vendor invoices and receipts that never get manually forwarded into Wave, so capture doesn't depend on one person remembering every time.
The second: cleaning up bank-feed transactions that Wave's automatic categorization gets wrong or leaves uncategorized, matching them against known vendors and historical patterns instead of someone reviewing the feed line by line every month.
For small businesses that bill clients for reimbursable expenses, we also build the step Wave doesn't handle on its own: flagging a categorized receipt as billable and getting it onto the right client's next invoice automatically.
A few specific things we build
Receipts captured from inboxes, not just photos
Vendor invoices and receipt emails get monitored and forwarded into Wave automatically, so capture doesn't rely entirely on someone remembering to snap a photo.
Bank feed transactions cleaned up automatically
Transactions Wave's automatic matching leaves uncategorized or miscategorizes get corrected against known vendor patterns, instead of a monthly manual review.
Billable expenses that land on the invoice without being asked
A receipt tagged as billable to a client gets added to that client's next Wave invoice automatically, instead of someone remembering to add it manually before sending.
Using Receipts by Wave and still chasing missing documentation?
Receipts by Wave is solid once a receipt actually makes it in. Tell us where yours tend to disappear before that, an inbox, a bank feed, a billable expense nobody remembers to flag, and we'll look at catching it automatically. And if receipts aren't your real bottleneck, that's fine too, n-frames automates whatever's manual, Wave or anywhere else.
