Document parsing for small business and freelancers

Nobody started a business to type receipts into a spreadsheet. ParseForMe reads the invoices, receipts and statements that pile up between jobs and gives them back as rows — enough structure to hand your accountant, without buying software built for a finance department.

Covers the 3 document types this trade actually runs on.

Where the time goes

Where the hours go in Small business & freelance

A quarter of bank PDFs, typed up the week it is due.

Without a live feed the statements only arrive as PDFs, and the spreadsheet gets filled in by hand. ParseForMe returns every transaction as a row — date, description, amount, direction, running balance — so a quarter takes an upload rather than an evening.

Each type has a purpose-built extraction schema. Follow a link to see exactly which fields come back and how they export.

How it works

What the work looks like once it is automated

Photograph the pile

Phone photos are fine. Drop them in one batch instead of one at a time.

Fix the few that are flagged

Creased receipts are exactly where extraction gets uncertain, so those fields are flagged rather than quietly guessed.

Send your accountant a spreadsheet

Export to CSV, XLSX or Google Sheets — or into the layout your accountant asked for, mapped once.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is there a subscription I have to commit to?

You can buy tokens as a one-off top-up instead of subscribing — a token per parsed page, and they do not expire. Monthly plans exist if you would rather have an allowance.

How much can I try before paying?

Thirty free tokens on first sign-in — enough to parse 30 pages and judge the output on your own documents, no card required.

Do I need to understand any of the technical parts?

No. Upload a document, check what is flagged, export a spreadsheet. There are no parsing rules to write and no setup before your first document.
