Clearing recognizes these challenges and offers a solution to simplify the receipt upload and management process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in the overall financial management of property related expenses.
Clearing's receipt management feature revolutionizes the way property managers handle receipts.

This automation not only saves time but also reduces the risk of manual errors, ensuring precise financial records. Additionally, Clearing allows users to categorize receipts (based on the chart of accounts), allocate taxes, and split transactions effortlessly, providing comprehensive control over expense management. This is also available through our mobile app, so property managers can take care of their expense bookkeeping at any time, from anywhere in the world.
