Yesterday I blogged about [prayer and the sovereignty of God](https://dashhouse.com/blog/2012/6/6/sovereignty-and-prayer.html?ref=dashhouse.com). Today I come crashing down to earth. This is about as mundane as it gets, but I think it may be helpful.

I hate expense reports. My wife has bailed me out by finding an online service that does most of the dirty work. I wish I had found it long ago.

This is going to come across like a sales pitch, which is why I’m not using their affiliate link. I get nothing for recommending them. I just want you to know about it in case you find helpful. It could save you a lot of time and hassle.

Here’s how it works:

- Mail [Shoeboxed](https://www.shoeboxed.com/?ref=dashhouse.com) an envelope of receipts. Or, snap a copy of the receipt with your phone, or scan the receipts and submit them on your computer. You can forward them email receipts as they come in as well.
- They OCR and then verify the details of your receipt and create an online, searchable archive. You can export them to Excel or to all kinds of other services like [Evernote](https://evernote.com/?ref=dashhouse.com), [Freshbooks](http://www.freshbooks.com/?ref=dashhouse.com), and more.
- You can even set up rules so that it categorizes your expenses for you.

I had a big brown envelope sitting beside my desk. I finally got around to uploading them to Shoeboxed the other day. I’m pretty cynical, and I didn’t expect much. I was surprised how well it worked. I’m finding that I can snap receipts as I go and have them filed and categorized without having to do a thing.

There is a [charge](https://www.shoeboxed.com/pricing/?ref=dashhouse.com), but it’s minimal. I’m on the cheapest plan, and it’s enough for me. They offer a free trial if you want to kick the tires.

It looks like a great service. It may help you spend time on things that matter a little more than expense reports.
