About US

Built for Entrepreneurs, by Entrepreneurs

We started SparkReceipt because we were tired of clunky, overpriced tools that made bookkeeping harder than it needed to be. As small business owners ourselves, we built the AI-powered platform we wished we’d had—simple, affordable, and designed to make receipts, expenses, and reports take minutes, not hours.

Our Story

Our mission is to simplify accounting, financial management, and document organization for solopreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners by providing an intuitive, efficient, and affordable solution that encompasses receipt scanning, expense tracking, document management, and income tracking.

Built for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs, SparkReceipt reflects our deep understanding of the needs and challenges of small business owners, ensuring that every feature supports streamlined operations and comprehensive financial oversight.

As a small business owner, Antti, the founder, was often lost in the never-ending hustle of managing receipts, outbound invoices, and bank statements. He needed a business receipt scanner that fit his specific needs, not just another expense tracker. His requirements led him to create SparkReceipt, a receipt scanner app designed to streamline the processes that bogged him down.

Team Expansion

As SparkReceipt began to grow, Antti recognized the need for additional expertise. In the spring of 2024, Antti met Joel Ojala through mutual acquaintances. Joel, with over a decade of experience in fintech and SaaS, joined the team, bringing invaluable commercial success to SparkReceipt. He had previously co-owned and led the Finnish expense management software eTasku and founded ReceiptHero.

Joel and Sampsa Vainio had worked together on both eTasku and ReceiptHero. Recognizing the potential to scale SparkReceipt, Joel invited Sampsa to join our team. With a decade of experience as a solopreneur in online marketing and having worked with over 100 clients globally, Sampsa’s expertise in digital marketing has been instrumental in growing our user base.

In 2025, our team grew again. Jukka joined in May, followed by Mikko in July—both talented engineers dedicated to building new features and continuously improving SparkReceipt. Their work ensures that our product doesn’t just keep up with customer needs but stays ahead of them.

We’re not chasing quick wins or exits. SparkReceipt is here for the long haul, with a simple promise: keep improving the product, keep serving entrepreneurs, and never slow down.

We believe the best products are built by teams that feel safe, supported, and free to speak up. That’s why openness and respect shape how we work every day—both with each other and with our customers.

We tried all other solutions in the market

There are numerous receipt scanning solutions available in the market. However, most of them were either too complex or too expensive for our needs as solopreneurs. We have personally tried over 20 different solutions, selecting the best features and enhancing them to be better and simpler. SparkReceipt was built to fill our needs, and it will always be a solution that we are happy to use ourselves. Key features include:

  • Effortless Email Integration: With SparkReceipt’s email forwarding functionality, you can forward email receipts directly to your account, making adding receipts super effortless.
  • Currency Conversion and Localization: SparkReceipt’s daily rates and currency conversions account for comma usage as a decimal separator, ensuring no mistakes during receipt scanning. Additionally, it supports inclusive tax calculations used in the EU.
  • Guest Access for Accountants: SparkReceipt’s guest account feature allows easy sharing of documents with accountants at no additional cost, enabling viewing and downloading of documents without the need for email attachments.
  • Customization and Organization: SparkReceipt organizes your receipts and documents by year and month, and offers customizable tags and OCR technology to extract key information. It’s the perfect solution for both businesses and individuals.
  • Multiple Linked Accounts: You can create multiple accounts, perfect for managing various businesses, running side hustles, or wanting separate accounts for business and personal expenses.

What Sets us Apart?

SparkReceipt isn’t just another receipt scanner—it’s an AI-native platform built from the ground up to automate the accounting tasks small business owners hate.

Powered by cutting-edge ChatGPT technology from OpenAI, SparkReceipt delivers lightning-fast and highly accurate scanning. It recognizes merchants—including small vendors and international businesses—improving precision where traditional tools fall short.

But we don’t stop at receipts. With SparkReceipt, you can also track expenses, store and share invoices, and even log outbound invoices as income—all from one simple interface.

Whether you’re juggling multiple businesses, side hustles, or just keeping personal and business finances separate, SparkReceipt lets you create unlimited accounts and manage them with ease. It’s built for flexibility, without the bloat of legacy systems.

And because we’re AI-native, you won’t find any clunky add-ons here. SparkReceipt was designed with AI at its core—meaning smarter features, faster workflows, and a smoother experience from day one.

SparkReceipt is more than just a tool for scanning receipts and documents—it’s a comprehensive suite of accounting tools crafted from Antti’s own experiences as a small business owner. Designed to address real-world challenges, SparkReceipt offers a robust solution for managing receipts, tracking expenses and income, and organizing documents.

It simplifies financial management by enabling seamless collaboration with accountants and team members, making it the ideal solution for anyone looking to streamline their accounting processes.
