"19% report struggling most with finding receipts."

HonestCasa's shoebox math: landlords who save receipts for "tax time" end up paying a CPA $2,000+ to reconstruct records that should have taken 15 minutes a week.

"Landlords Have Too Much On Their Plates to Be Accountants"

What catch-up costs elsewhere

"Catch-Up Bookkeeping Starting at $295/Month" — Xendoo. Monthly, ongoing. Ours: from $299, once.

RentRedi 2026 survey · n=835

31% of landlords have missed tax deductions because their records were incomplete.

The email you keep dreading

It's the first week of October. Your CPA just emailed: "I need your stuff this week."

You open the Drive folder you named Rentals_taxes_DO_THIS_THIS_WEEKEND_2024. You see the pile. You close the tab. You've done this for 18 months.

  • ~600 PDFs, screenshots, and forwarded vendor emails. None of it sorted, none of it tied to a property.
  • 2023 and 2024 Schedule E still aren't filed. Your extension runs out October 15, 2026.
  • About 30% of repairs went on a personal card — commingled with the business checking. Untangling that is its own night.
  • You've tried it all: a midnight Excel session you quit after 90 minutes, emailing the CPA "what do you need?" and stalling two more weeks, and opening Bench — then seeing a monthly subscription and closing the tab.

Receipt Rescue exists because none of those is the answer — and you already know it. We clean it up before your accountant sees it.

How the sprint works

You don't sort anything. That's the whole point.

  1. 1

    Forward the mess — don't pre-sort

    Share the Drive folder. Forward the Gmail "Receipts" label. Drop in your Chase Business CSV. No spreadsheet, no clean-up first. The disorganized version is exactly what we want.

    drive-folder · 612 files
    gmail · "Receipts" label
    chase-business-2024.csv
  2. 2

    We categorize & reconcile

    Every receipt sorted by property and Schedule E line. Matched against your bank and card transactions. The commingled personal-card repairs get split out — properly.

    commingled · 184 txns split & tagged
  3. 3

    You get the export pack

    Schedule E worksheet, categorized expense PDF, and per-property P&L — in 7 days. Hand it to your accountant. Or your refi lender. Done.

Fixed price — you see it before we start

One flat price by backlog size. Never an hourly surprise.

Priced by years behind × properties — quoted upfront, locked before we open a single file. A one-off. No retainer, no monthly anything.

1 property · 1 year

$299

A few missed months or a single year, one rental.

2–4 properties · 1 year

$599

A small portfolio, one tax year to catch up.

Most common

2–4 properties · 2 years

$999

e.g. 2023 + 2024, commingled cards untangled.

5+ props or 3+ years

from $1,499

A real multi-year backlog. Still one fixed quote.

Prices are flat, one-off, and confirmed in writing before any work starts. You approve the quote first, then we send a secure Stripe payment link. Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

If you've been shopping around

The extension cliff

October 15, 2026. After that, the penalties start stacking.

Unfiled Schedule E doesn't get cheaper by waiting. A 7-day sprint started now still clears the deadline with room to spare — and gets your accountant what they need instead of another "I'll have it next week." Reserve a spot before the rush.

Days until October 15, 2026

101days

The pile doesn't shrink while you wait — a sprint takes 7.

From shoebox to Schedule E

Questions you'd ask on the phone

Honest answers.

My finances are a mess and honestly I'm embarrassed. Who sees this? +

We've seen the shoebox, the 600-file Drive folder, the commingled card — all of it. No judgment; that's literally the job. Uploads are encrypted, handled by US-based bookkeepers under NDA, and deleted on request once your pack is delivered.

Why pay you instead of my $48/mo app or a $250/mo Bench plan? +

The app makes you do the work; Bench signs you into a monthly relationship you didn't ask for. This is a one-off. The honest anchor isn't "free" — it's the $2,000+ CPAs charge to reconstruct a shoebox. A fixed $299–$1,499, once, beats that and beats a subscription.

I'll just do it myself this weekend. +

That's been the plan for 18 months. The Excel session dies at 90 minutes every time. October 15, 2026 doesn't move. Seven days from now you can have it done — or be opening the same Drive folder again.

My backlog is huge — multiple years, commingled cards. Can you even handle it? +

Multi-year, commingled, mixed formats — that's the wedge, not the exception. You tell us years behind × properties, we send one fixed quote. Bigger backlog, bigger (still flat) number — never an open-ended hourly bill.

Will my accountant actually accept your export pack? +

It's built in the shape accountants expect: a Schedule E worksheet, a categorized expense PDF, and a per-property P&L. We prepare the records — your accountant files. If they need it reformatted to their workpapers, we redo it free.
