BIRMINGHAM, UK — Steve, a shop owner, was watching his business crumble. His books were a mess. Paper receipts piled up in shoeboxes. Expenses sat scattered across an Excel file he called “The Abyss.”
“I did not realize how bad it was until I tried to file taxes,” Steve admitted. “I actually listed my dog as a subcontractor.”
That is when Darren stepped in. A former roommate and part-time bassist, Darren sent Steve a late-night message with nothing more than a link and the words, “You need this.” Steve ignored it at first.
Weeks later, after one more panic attack and another avalanche of receipts, he downloaded SparkReceipt. The results shocked him. The app scanned his receipts, sorted them, and uncovered forgotten expenses worth more than £2,400.
Now Steve spends his evenings running his shop instead of battling Excel.
“Darren is still a fool,” Steve said, “but this app is the reason my doors are still open.”
