Every expense, one live P&L.
Forward an email, snap a receipt (OCR), import a bank CSV, or share from any Android app — four ways in, one ledger out. Each expense lands categorised, GST input credit caught, profit updated the same minute.
Capture without
typing.
The fastest expense is the one you never enter. Four capture paths all land in the same categorized ledger — forward, snap, import, or share — so receipts stop piling up in a drawer.
Claim the GST
you already paid.
The GST on your business expenses isn't a cost — it's a credit, if you claim it. HourSlip reconciles every expense against your GSTR-2B and totals exactly how much input credit you can reclaim.
Bill it back
to the client.
Some costs aren't yours to absorb — stock photos, a font licence, a courier. Flag an expense as billable and it appears as a line on that client's next invoice, with optional markup and GST at your rate.
- ›One toggle — Mark billable — pick the client and optional markup %.
- ›Auto-attached — It queues onto the next invoice for that client automatically.
- ›Receipt linked — The original bill stays attached for transparency.
Recurring expenses,
on autopilot.
Subscriptions hit your card on the same day every month. Set them up once and HourSlip generates the expense automatically — so the P&L stays honest without a manual entry each cycle.
The numbers roll
into your P&L.
Capturing and reconciling lives here. The profit-and-loss it all feeds — with the 44ADA toggle, client and project grouping, and the CSV your CA opens — lives one page over, in Reports. Same numbers, entered once.
- ›Live P&L — Income, expenses and net profit, current to the minute.
- ›44ADA-aware — Toggle the 50% presumptive figure your ITR-4 starts from.
- ›CA-ready exports — P&L CSV, ITR-4 CSV and Tally XML — all from Reports.
Receipts to profit, plainly.
What freelancers ask before they let HourSlip run their expenses and P&L.
- You get a private HourSlip inbox address. Forward any bill — or set vendors to send invoices there directly — and HourSlip reads the attachment, files it as a categorized expense with the GST split, and attaches the original. No app, no typing.
- It reads vendor, amount, GST and date off a photographed or PDF receipt and pre-fills the fields for a one-tap confirm. You always see what it extracted before it's saved, so you can correct the rare mis-read.
- Yes. HourSlip reconciles the GST on your expenses against your GSTR-2B and totals exactly how much input credit you can reclaim — marking each line matched, unmatched or reverse-charge (RCM). The total flows into your GST returns.
- Flag the expense as billable, pick the client and an optional markup, and it queues onto that client's next invoice as a reimbursable line with the original receipt linked.
- Yes — it's live. Every captured expense and invoiced rupee updates the profit-and-loss the moment it lands. Filter by any date range to see income, expenses, GST input credit and taxable profit current to the minute.
- Yes. Export the P&L as CSV for your CA, or push the taxable-profit figure straight into the Tax planner, where it becomes the basis for your ITR-4.
