Purpose and context included

Everything travels together. The entry, source document and answers remain connected for reconciliation and later review.

The familiar problem

The spreadsheet is only part of the work.

Clients enter expenses, send receipts separately and leave you to join everything together. When an amount does not match or the purpose is unclear, there is another message to send and another answer to track down.

MTDFast brings the document, the client’s explanation and the accounting entry together in Sage.

How it works

Send a link. Receive a better-supported Sage entry.

  1. 01

    Set the practice rules

    Connect the client’s Sage business, choose the relevant bank accounts and permitted expense codes, and add coding guidance where needed.

  2. 02

    Clients submit their way

    Send each person their private link or expense email address. They can take a photo, upload files, forward receipts or send a ZIP batch. There is no client account to create.

  3. 03

    Review where you already work

    MTDFast prepares and posts the expense to Sage. Open the bank entry to find the original receipt and captured supporting information together.

Clients answer plain-English questions. You retain control of the accounting.

At reconciliation

One bank entry. The evidence alongside it.

When you reconcile the bank, you should not have to search an inbox, shared folder or separate capture system to understand a payment. MTDFast attaches the receipt and the client’s answers directly to the Sage transaction.

Whether you review it this quarter or years later, the explanation stays with the entry.

Context at the right moment

Capture the details a receipt cannot tell you.

A restaurant receipt can show what was ordered. It may not tell you who attended, why they were there, whether a tip was added or whether the bill was shared. MTDFast asks relevant questions at submission and keeps the answers with the expense in Sage.

MTDFast also flags potentially missing VAT evidence and checks the document’s figures. It gives you better information to review while leaving the final accounting and tax judgement with your practice.

A few relevant questions
1What was the meal for?
2Were guests or non-employees present?
3How much did you pay?
4Was a tip added or the bill shared?

Flexible submission

Fits the way your clients already send receipts.

Take a photo

Open the personal link and capture the receipt.

Upload a document

Send a receipt image or PDF.

Forward an email

Use the person’s dedicated expense email address.

Send a ZIP batch

Process accumulated documents, including Amazon Business invoice ZIPs.

Review batch documents individually or reuse relevant answers for similar purchases. Poor connection? Documents can wait for processing when connectivity returns.

For your practice

Everyone can submit. You keep control.

Give each spender their own link and email address. MTDFast identifies the submitter on the Sage transaction and supports multiple users and bank accounts within a company.

Each price applies only to clients in that band. You receive one monthly practice bill. For example, 20 clients cost £190 + VAT: £100 for the first ten and £90 for the next ten.

*Unlimited documents for normal business use. Our fair-use review benchmark is 500 documents per client business per month, pooled across your practice. This is not an automatic processing cap: occasional higher usage, including catch-up batches, does not by itself trigger restrictions or overage charges. If usage suggests abuse or falls outside normal business processing, we will contact the practice to discuss it before applying restrictions.

For example, ten client businesses create a pooled monthly review benchmark of 5,000 documents. This is a review benchmark, not a credit balance.

A better routine

Make expenses easier for you and your clients.

Start with a client who still sends spreadsheets and scattered receipts. Give them a personal link, and bring their expense documents and explanations together in Sage.
