FlipperForce gives you four ways to get expenses into a project. Most investors end up using more than one, depending on where the expense came from.

1. Manual Entry

Add a transaction directly in the Expense Tracker. Best for one-off expenses and anything you want coded precisely as you enter it.

2. AI Bulk Expense Importer

Upload a file and let the AI transcribe and categorize it. Best when you are catching up on a month of spending at once.

The importer accepts raw CSVs and PDF bank statements with no template required, and handles four common sources: retailer purchase history from Home Depot or Lowe's, exports from QuickBooks or Xero, bank and credit card statements, and miscellaneous spreadsheets.

3. Receipt Inbox and AI Receipt Analyzer

Snap a photo of a receipt on site with the FlipperForce Field mobile app, or upload files in bulk from the web app. Receipts land in your Receipt Inbox, where the AI Receipt Analyzer transcribes the vendor, date, total and itemized line items so you can convert them into transactions.

Best for job site purchases, and for teams where someone in the field captures receipts and a bookkeeper processes them later.

4. Public API

Log expenses programmatically from an outside application. This route requires development work or an AI agent.

Which Should I Use?

• A single purchase you are entering at your desk: manual entry
• A receipt in your hand on the job site: mobile app and Receipt Inbox
• A month of card transactions or a Home Depot purchase history export: bulk importer
• Expenses that originate in another system you control: Public API
