Features ยท Expenses

Snap the receipt. Hakkuu reads it.

Photograph a receipt and the vendor, date, tax and total are filed as an expense with a suggested category. Import a bank or card statement as CSV. Know what is deductible before April, not during it.

Hakkuu expenses screen with a category breakdown and tax-deductible totals

Receipt scanning that fills in the form. Take a photo, or upload one. Hakkuu extracts the vendor, the date, the total and the tax, and shows a confidence for each so you know what to double-check. A category is suggested from the vendor; accept it or change it with one tap.

Tax kept separate, on purpose. The GST, HST, PST or QST on a receipt is recorded apart from the subtotal. At filing time you have the numbers your accountant asks for instead of a pile of paper to re-add.

Categories that add up. Materials, fuel, software, meals, whatever your business spends on. The expenses screen shows spending by category and the running total of what is tax-deductible.

Statements in bulk. Export a CSV from your bank or card and import it. Hakkuu recognises common Canadian bank formats, matches vendors it has seen before, and learns your categories as you correct them. Split a single transaction across categories, and match a refund to the purchase it reverses.

The receipt stays attached. Every scanned receipt is stored with its expense, so an auditor asking for the paper behind a number gets it in one click. See what the CRA expects you to keep.

Expense questions

How accurate is receipt scanning?

Hakkuu shows a confidence for every extracted field and highlights anything below its threshold, so you check the doubtful ones and accept the rest. Long till receipts and faded thermal paper are the hardest cases; those get flagged rather than guessed.

Which bank statements can I import?

Any CSV. Common Canadian bank and card export formats are recognised automatically; for others you map the columns once and Hakkuu remembers.

Which plans include receipt scanning?

Libro and Mastro. Conto categorises expenses for you but does not read receipts; Free records expenses by hand. Expenses, CSV import and tax-deductible totals are on every plan. See pricing.

Does Hakkuu connect to my bank directly?

Not yet. Statement import by CSV is the supported path today. If a direct connection matters to you, tell us.
