I would love to know how to deal with all the various electronic invoices I receive from different services (periodically and one-off, but especially the periodic).
When trying to keep up with a dozen active domains/companies and associated services, I end up spending half of my time managing logins, searching for invoices (at quarterly tax time), etc. It's really at the point where I'd have better quality of life making less money and doing less paid work.

- twunde 9y agoThere are two things that might be helpful for you. 1) A password manager like onepassword or lastpass would make managing logins much easier (and more secure). 2) Take a look at accounting software, especially ones that support importing POs (purchase orders). You can also take a look at some services that manage your accounting needs for you
- graeme 9y agoWith my accountant/bookeeper we use hubdoc, receiptbank, and xero. Hubdoc collects monthly invoices from a lot of services. (You have to login with them, but for less important services this is fine) Receiptbank accepts invoices by email or scan. For other services which send by email I created autoforward rules. For others like amazon which have some personal and some business I filter into a folder and process periodically. For paper invoices, you scan a photo and receipt bank extracts the relevant data. (It extracts this data with emailed documents too) Xero puts it all together, and also autocalculates things like foreign exchange. The best solution is probably a service like Bench though if it's available in your area: a cloud bookeeper. Having one has greatly improved my life.
