Capture Documents
Automates the capture, extraction and posting of receipts, invoices and bills – streamlining document processing from first upload to final entry in your accounting software, with review and approval built in at every step.
AI-Powered Data Extraction
Uses advanced AI to read receipts, invoices and bills and extract the financial information you need – supplier details, dates, amounts, tax and line items. Captured data is organised into transactions within generate.TAX, ready for your review before anything is posted to your accounting software.
Flexible Capture Methods
Offers multiple ways to get documents into generate.TAX to suit how your team already works. Upload photos and PDFs directly, forward documents to a dedicated capture email, or link a cloud folder (OneDrive, Sharepoint and Google Drive) for automatic scanning as new files arrive. Whether you are processing a single receipt or a batch of supplier invoices, generate.TAX adapts to your workflow and surfaces documents for review as they are captured.
Review Before You Post
Automatically converts scanned documents into transactions you can validate inside generate.TAX before they are sent to your accounting software. Review extracted data, set extraction rules, adjust any data including account codes and tax rates and tracking categories – so only accurate, verified transactions are posted to Xero, QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books or your connected platform.
Approval Workflow
Users can invite team members and set granular permissions for easier collaboration. A full activity trail is available to track each document from capture and AI extraction through to review, approval and posting – keeping accountants, bookkeepers and clients aligned from the first scan to the final post in your accounting software.
How it works
Connect with your accounting software
Seamless integration to post approved transactions with confidence
Your entity is connected to your accounting software so that reviewed and approved transactions can be posted directly from generate.TAX – without re-keying data. Set up your tax rates and chart of accounts once, and generate.TAX uses them to code captured documents accurately during review.
Integrates with Xero, QuickBooks Online, and Zoho Books.
Capture documents your way
Upload, email or sync from a folder-documents flow in automatically
Drag and drop receipts, invoices and bills, forward them to your entity’s capture email, or link a cloud folder (Google Drive or OneDrive / Sharepoint) for automatic scanning.
Documents are processed as they arrive, so your team spends less time chasing paperwork and more time on review.
Review in generate.TAX
Validate extracted data before it reaches your books
