Every receipt,
every rupee out —
into one P&L.
Forward a bill, snap a receipt, or import your bank CSV. HourSlip files it, reclaims the GST you paid, bills it back where it belongs, and rolls it into a live P&L.
A P&L, from a
forwarded email.
Forward a bill and watch it become a filed, GST-reconciled expense — read by OCR, matched against GSTR-2B, and rolled into a net-profit figure that updates while you watch.

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.
- ›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.
It all rolls into
a live P&L.
Every captured expense lands in a profit-and-loss statement that's current to the minute. Filter by date range, see your taxable profit, and export to CSV — the same number that feeds your ITR-4.
Free to jot down.
Pro to never type.
Free covers basic manual expenses. Pro adds the four no-typing capture paths, GSTR-2B reconciliation, bill-back, and the live P&L that feeds your ITR.
An honest
side-by-side.
Zoho is genuinely powerful — but it's a full accounting suite you configure. The honest edge here is shape: expenses captured four ways and reconciled for GST, rolled into one freelancer P&L, not a bolt-on module.
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.
A live P&L, from
a forwarded email.
Capture it any way you like, reclaim the GST you paid, bill what's billable, and watch your profit stay current. The number your ITR-4 starts from — without a shoebox of receipts.
