Doing taxes just got easier with a new app called 'Sensibill'. The app eliminates the annoying process of collecting every receipt, allowing users to take a picture of each receipt which will then be stored in the app.
Sensibill is also capable of connecting to a bank's online platform, which makes doing taxes a much easier process. Sensibill is slated be ready for the 2016 tax season and has already partnered with many Canadian banks. Sensibill is also in the process of connecting with many banks in the US and Britain. Sensibill also has many convenient capabilities including matching receipts to transaction statements eliminating the need for calling, chargebacks and unnecessary investigations.
Banks also hope that Sensibill will draw more customers to use online banking tools as well, rather than seeking out independent financial advisers.
