Receipt Digitization 101: How to Go Paperless in 2025

Jun 29, 2025

Why Paperless Is the Way Forward

The days of taping receipts into notebooks or scanning them one by one are over. Today, digitizing receipts means less manual work, better organization, and peace of mind—especially when tax season rolls around.

Here’s why more professionals are ditching paper in 2025:

  • Receipts fade (sometimes within weeks)

  • Paper stacks up fast, especially for frequent travelers

  • Manually tracking expenses is time-consuming and error-prone

  • Digital reports are now the standard for accounting and reimbursement

Put simply: going digital saves you time, reduces stress, and helps you stay on top of your finances—wherever work takes you.


What Does “Going Paperless” Actually Look Like?

It doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it shouldn’t be.

At its core, receipt digitization is about capturing your expenses the moment they happen—whether that’s a coffee shop receipt, a coworking pass, or a hotel invoice. Instead of holding onto the physical slip, you snap a quick photo, or forward the e-receipt, and it’s stored securely in your digital archive.

That’s where Ezpense comes in.
