AU sole traders · receipt record-keeping · general information, not tax or BAS advice · A$29/mo
The weekly nag that keeps your receipts organised, so your accountant gets a clean quarterly pack.
You're not bad at admin; admin just never reminded you. Receipt Rescue nags you every Sunday at 6pm, takes your receipt photos, files them under your categories, and hands your accountant a tidy pack at quarter end. For sole traders without payroll. One plan at A$29 per month (AUD, GST incl.), cancel anytime. It is not a tax service, not a BAS service, and never a substitute for your registered agent.

A quarter, on the ledger
Here is what changes, week by week.
Not features. The actual rhythm of a quarter with the nag running. If this rhythm does not describe your problem, this product is not for you.
Sunday nags keep the pile near zero. One SMS plus one email digest a week. You snap or forward the docket; your rule map files it automatically. The ambiguous ones wait in a "Needs your call" bucket. Nobody guesses on your behalf.
Reminders escalate ahead of the ATO's published quarterly BAS due dates. Firmer reminders, gap flags on missing weeks. We track the dates the ATO publishes each year (current schedule at ato.gov.au). Dates only, never tax advice.
The quarterly expense pack lands. Cover page, per-category amount totals, CSV ledger, receipt-images ZIP, gap report, accountant handover checklist. You hand it over; they do the tax part. That was always the deal. We just made your half painless.
How it works
Nag, snap, filed. That is the whole product.
Our customer is the person who ignores admin. So reminders, not features, are the product.
Sunday 6pm: the nag
A weekly SMS plus email check-in: "Any receipts this week?" Escalates in the three weeks before the ATO's published quarterly due dates. Snooze or pause anytime from the preference centre: weekly, fortnightly, or deadline-only; SMS-only or email-only.
Snap or forward
Photo upload via a magic link, or just email-forward dockets to your intake address. OCR transcribes what is printed on the docket: merchant, date, total, GST shown. Never computed or guessed.
Filed under your rules
Receipts land in categories you defined at onboarding, strictly your rule map. Anything ambiguous goes in "Needs your call" for you to decide. Never ours to interpret, never tax treatment.
Honest comparison
Why not just use Hnry?
Fair question. Hnry is a registered tax agent with automated expense capture and filing, and it is good at what it does. Here is the honest math.
Stick with Hnry if…
- Hnry charges 1% + GST of income [Hnry published pricing, check hnry.com.au]. Below roughly $32k annual income, that works out cheaper or about even with our flat A$29/mo. Lower earners: Hnry is likely the better deal, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
- You want filing and tax calculations done for you by a registered agent.
Receipt Rescue fits if…
- You earn above ~$32k: flat A$29/mo undercuts 1%-of-income pricing, and the gap grows with income. [illustrative arithmetic on published prices]
- You already have an accountant you like. We are a nag-and-file layer on top, not a replacement. No bank-switching, no re-platforming your money.
- Your actual problem is the shoebox, not the tax return.
The boundary is the product. Read this before anything else.
Receipt Rescue is a record-keeping and reminder service. It is explicitly not a tax service, not a BAS service, and not a substitute for your registered BAS agent, tax agent, or accountant. All tax interpretation stays with you and your agent.
- No BAS-label figures, no GST totals, no pre-filling or reviewing BAS forms.
- No GST-treatment or claimability advice. Every tax question gets a scripted deflection to your agent.
- No lodgement with the ATO. We never hold out as a BAS agent, tax agent, accountant, or adviser.
- Not for businesses with payroll, companies or trusts, monthly BAS lodgers, or anyone who wants lodgement done for them. We will point you to a registered BAS agent instead.

One plan, A$29/mo. No lock-in.

What do the nags cost me in attention?
Is my receipt data private?
How do I sign up, and what happens after?
