Receipts live in the glovebox, the gig bag and the bottom of a coat pocket. Strings, parking at the venue, a mic lead bought on the way to a wedding. By January half of them have faded, and you’re guessing at what you spent.
Expenses and Commission have both been rebuilt to make that record easier to keep as you go.
What’s new
Expenses by tax year. The screen shows the year’s total, then each month with its own total.
Receipt reading. Take a photo of a receipt and Gigflow suggests the amount, date and category. It reads amounts in pounds only, and you check the details before saving.
“Without a receipt”. A list of every expense that’s missing a receipt, so you can add the photo later.
What you owe each agency. The Commission screen shows what you owe, agency by agency, with a Pay sheet to record a payment and the date you paid.
Payments you can fix. Open a commission payment to change it. Delete one and its gigs go back to owed, with an Undo.
Plainer wording on Money. “In the bank” now reads “paid to you”.
How to use it
Open Expenses, start a new expense and choose “Scan”, then “Take a photo”. You’ll see “Reading your receipt…” while it works. Check what it found on “Confirm details” and save. If the photo is too blurred, Gigflow tells you it couldn’t read the receipt, and you can retake it or type the details yourself. Reading a receipt needs an internet connection.
Commission opens from Money. Pick an agency to pay, choose the date paid, and it’s recorded. Expenses are part of Pro.
Why it matters
Thirty seconds in the car park beats an evening with a shoebox. It’s worth keeping a receipt for each expense in case HMRC asks to see it, and now you can tell at a glance which ones are missing.
