5-Step Receipt & Invoice Data Entry Workflow
Five steps from secure intake to delivery, with a QA check before anything leaves us.
Document Intake & Secure Transfer
Receive receipts, invoices, and bills via encrypted email, SFTP, cloud portals, or FTP. Supports PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, handwritten bills, and mobile uploads. All batches are acknowledged and logged with NDA protection before processing begins.
Categorization & Pre-Processing
Our specialists categorize and index every document by type, vendor, date range, currency, and account for downstream workflows. Documents are tagged by industry context where your system needs it.
Data Entry
Our specialists key the main fields (invoice numbers, vendor names, dates, amounts, taxes, payment modes, and line items) into your template or accounting system, or into structured CSV/Excel files, using dual-key entry. Tax invoices, credit notes, and multi-currency documents go through the same secure workflow.
Multi-Level Quality Assurance
Every record goes through multi-level QA, where we look for inconsistencies, remove duplicates, validate totals, and flag exceptions. A QA lead reviews discrepancies before approval. This is how we hold 99.8% field-level accuracy on typed and printed documents; handwritten documents run slightly lower. For clients merging years of invoices and receipts into one system, our data cleansing services do the same deduplication and standardization across the whole database.
Structured Delivery & ERP-Ready Files
Validated financial data delivered in Excel, CSV, XML, or JSON, structured for direct import into QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, Tally, Zoho Books, or NetSuite. Full audit trails and QC logs provided with every batch. Dedicated account manager; support hours are set in your SLA.
Accuracy, Volume & Compliance Data
Our own figures across accuracy, throughput, compliance, and cost, from 18+ years of receipt and invoice work.

Receipt & Invoice Data Entry Pricing Models
Pricing is volume-based, with no long-term lock-in. Start with a free pilot on a sample of your real documents before you commit. Still comparing providers? See our guide to evaluating data entry outsourcing vendors and our comparison of top data entry companies.
Pay only for documents processed, a good fit for variable monthly volumes, seasonal spikes, or one-time backfile projects. It scales from 500 to 500,000+ documents a month with no extra overhead.
Charged per field or line item, which works well for complex invoices such as purchase orders, supplier invoices, and multi-page vendor bills.
Flexible hourly model for mixed document types, ad-hoc projects, or ongoing AP support where volume is unpredictable. Accounting firms with mixed client work often choose this.
Fixed monthly engagement covering defined document volumes, a fit for enterprises with predictable AP cycles, recurring billing runs, or month-end close work that needs steady daily output.
All pricing is tailored to your document type, volume, fields required, and turnaround SLA. Talk to our pricing team. We respond within 8 hours.
Get Your Pricing & Free PilotHuman Data Entry vs OCR
Automated OCR tools struggle with handwritten documents, mixed formats, and low-resolution scans. Where accuracy and an audit trail matter more than speed, we key receipts and invoices by hand.
OCR tools miss a lot on handwritten bills, poor-quality scans, and mixed-language invoices. Our trained specialists read printed, handwritten, photographed, and mixed-format documents.
Humans apply business logic that OCR cannot: recognizing duplicate invoices, flagging mismatched totals, correcting vendor name variations, and cross-referencing purchase orders against receipts.
Fixing OCR errors afterwards often eats up the savings OCR promises. Our dual-key verified, multi-level QA workflow delivers data ready for direct ERP upload — minimal cleanup on your end.
Every document processed by a human operator carries a full chain-of-custody audit trail, which matters for financial compliance, tax audits, and regulated industries where data provenance matters.
How We Handle Your Financial Data
Every receipt, invoice, and bill you share with us is handled under strict information security controls, aligned with ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements.
All documents are received and delivered via encrypted channels — SFTP, TLS-secured email, or client-provisioned portals. We do not send or accept files over unsecured connections.
Every client engagement begins with a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement. Every team member handling your documents has signed an individual confidentiality agreement before access is granted.
Role-based access controls ensure only authorized operators handle your files. Access is logged, time-limited, and audited; this follows ISO 27001 practices.
Upon project completion or client request, all source documents are permanently deleted from our systems according to the retention schedule agreed with you.
