What You'll Learn
- Protect your corporate veil by strictly separating personal and business funds.
- Use 'One-Swipe' categorization (Left for Personal, Right for Business).
- Set smart rules to auto-tag recurring merchants (e.g., 'Whole Foods' is always Personal).
- Generate clean, audit-proof reports that only include relevant business expenses.
For founders, freelancers, and small business owners, the line between "personal" and "business" is often blurry. You use the same credit card for a client lunch and your groceries. Come tax season, untangling that mess is a nightmare.
The Commingling Limits
Commingling funds is the #1 way to pierce the corporate veil and land in hot water with tax authorities. But carrying two wallets is annoying.
Two Worlds, One App
Recepo makes separation effortless, even if you just use one card.
- One-Swipe Categorization: Swipe left for Personal, right for Business. It's like Tinder for your taxes.
- Smart Rules: Tell us that "Whole Foods" is always Personal and "AWS" is always Business. We'll auto-tag them forever.
- Separate Exports: When you generate reports, we ignore the personal stuff. Your accountant gets a clean, business-only PDF, and you keep your privacy.
Peace of Mind
Sleep better knowing your books are clean. If you ever get audited, you have a clear, digital paper trail proving exactly what was a business expense and what wasn't.
Work hard, play hard. Just don't mix up the receipts.
