Categories & Use Cases

Love Hubdoc for my small business

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

After years of using desktop bookkeeping software and having to drive my hard copy files to my bookkeeper each month I was looking for ways to go digital and save myself time, money and headache. My bookkeeper told me about Hubdoc as we made the switch to an online system and it was a no brainer to set it up. I love that I can snap a photo of a receipt and upload from my phone when I purchase something so it's off my plate right away. I am a huge fan of a recent feature that allows me to snap multiple pictures for multipage or bigger documents so that my bookkeeper sees the full picture together vs pieces. It's also super easy to upload anything digital form my computer as it comes in. Hubdoc is affordable, easy to use and makes my life as a small business owner less stressful. It's one of the best subscriptions I have invested in and I would highly recommend it for any small business owner who wants to make their operations easier.

Pros

  • Phone app is very easy to use
  • It's cost-effective
  • Makes working with a bookkeeper even easier

Cons

  • It logs out too soon on my phone now vs longer sign in before

Return on Investment

  • Hubdoc saved me 40+ minutes of driving each month
  • Hubdoc reduced my bookkeeping costs by $60/month
  • Hubdoc reduced paper waste in my office by 75%

Hubdoc great receipt/bill tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Hubdoc for our clients. They will send receipts and invoices into Hubdoc and we then post those to QBO.

This allows us to have the invoice/receipt attached to the transaction in QBO which helps during Tax/Audit time in locating backup.

Hubdoc also allows us to process transactions quickly with its AI and we no longer have to add the bill in QBO and manually attach the backup

Pros

  • its AI makes processing recurring invoices much easier
  • attaches to not only QBO but bill.com etc
  • Faster to process invoices/receipts in Hubdoc than manually doing in QBO
  • The search to find vendors etc in Hubdoc is easy

Cons

  • We cannot process deposits from Hubdoc
  • I wish it set up folders for individual vendors and automatically filed the bills in them
  • you have to watch the information it automatically prefills as it sometimes reads dates/amounts from wrong areas

Return on Investment

  • We are processing much faster than expected
  • Clients are getting receipts in faster and allowing us not to stalk them to process their banking
  • It is a file for us besides attaching to the invoice we also have the history of bills/receipts in Hubdoc
