The documents accountants and bookkeepers deal with
Financial work is document-heavy. Most source documents arrive on paper or as flat scans — readable but not editable. Getting them into a usable digital format is a daily time cost for bookkeepers, accountants, and small business owners.
- Invoices — supplier invoices received by post or fax that need to be entered into accounting software.
- Receipts — paper receipts and expense documents that need to be recorded and filed.
- Bank statements — printed statements that need to be reconciled or referenced.
- Financial statements — balance sheets, income statements, and reports received as printed copies.
- Tax documents — forms, notices, and correspondence from tax authorities.
- Contracts and agreements — vendor contracts and service agreements that need to be stored as editable files.

Tips for best results
Trueform works best when the document is the main subject of your photo or scan. A clear, straight image of a legible document produces a clean editable result.
- Photograph or scan the document directly — keep it as the main subject of the image.
- Make sure the text and numbers are visible and in focus.
- Flat, unfolded pages produce the best results.
- For multi-page documents, use PDF format and upload up to 20 pages at a time.
- Avoid capturing background text or objects outside the document in the frame.
A note on sensitive financial documents
Trueform is not SOC 2 certified. It is best suited for digitizing non-sensitive financial paperwork — document templates, reference copies, and internal records. For documents containing confidential client financial data or records subject to regulatory requirements, use your own judgment and consult your firm's data policy before uploading.
