Frequently Asked Questions

What format do receipts need to be in?

Any format works — photos, PDFs, screenshots, forwarded email receipts, or even plain text. Emil extracts the relevant information from whatever you send.

Can Emil integrate with my accounting software?

Emil generates expense reports that can be imported into QuickBooks, Xero, or shared directly with your accountant. Emil works through email, so there's no direct API integration, but the output is formatted for easy import.

How accurate is the expense categorization?

Very accurate for standard business expenses. Emil uses the vendor name, amount, and context to categorize. You can correct any miscategorization and Emil learns from the correction for future expenses.

Can Emil track expenses for multiple businesses?

Yes. Tell Emil which expenses belong to which entity and it will maintain separate expense tracking. Monthly summaries are generated per entity.
