AI data extraction
Vendor, amount, date and tax are read automatically, not just a stored image to key in later.
Approval workflow & rules
Review before anything posts, and auto-approve trusted vendors under a threshold to cut the clicks.
Google Sheets sync
Send approved receipts to a spreadsheet as well as Xero, handy for reporting or non-Xero workflows.
Email-first by design
Forward or auto-BCC receipts. No app to remember to open; the pipeline does the rest.

Frequently asked questions
How is AccountingPipe different from Hubdoc?
Hubdoc is a solid document-capture tool included with many Xero plans. AccountingPipe focuses on an email-first workflow with AI data extraction, a clear approval step, auto-approval rules, and built-in Google Sheets sync in addition to Xero.
Does AccountingPipe work with Xero like Hubdoc?
Yes. Approved receipts post to Xero as bills or expenses with the receipt attached and the contact matched. You keep full control with an approval step before anything syncs.
Can I forward receipts by email?
Yes, that is the core workflow. Forward receipts to your dedicated address, or have suppliers and your card send them automatically.
Does it also export to spreadsheets?
Yes. Alongside Xero, AccountingPipe can append each approved receipt as a row in Google Sheets, which Hubdoc does not focus on.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, start a free trial with no credit card required and test the full workflow.
