Margin - Receipt Scanner

Margin is the Financial Operating System built for UK small businesses. The mobile app turns your Android phone into an AI-powered receipt scanner and expense log - no manual re-keying, no paper piles at year-end.

INSTANT RECEIPT SCANNING Point your camera at any receipt - paper, email printout, or screen - and Margin's AI reads the amount, supplier, date, and VAT in seconds. Review the extracted details, correct anything if needed, and it goes straight into your ledger. No typing. No filing.

WORKS WITHOUT A PRINTER OR SCANNER

Team out on site or visiting clients? They can photograph receipts on their phones and send them back to the office instantly - no physical scanner needed. Receipts land in Margin's desktop pending tray, ready to confirm. The whole workflow is paperless.

OFFLINE QUEUE

No signal at the job site? No problem. Receipts are stored securely on your device and sync to Margin automatically the moment you are back on Wi-Fi. Nothing is lost and nothing needs doing - it just works.

QUICK EXPENSE LOG

For cash purchases where there is no receipt, Quick Log lets you record the amount, supplier, and category in under 10 seconds. No camera needed.

FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT

See your current month's income, expenses, and net profit at a glance on the dashboard. Check whether invoices are overdue. Spot receipts in the offline queue waiting to sync - all without opening a laptop.
