Categorise your transactions in real time
We’ll help you accurately categorise every single business expense as it happens—so that when it’s time to do your Self Assessment, the time-consuming bit has already been done.
Sort your transactions in bulk
If you categorise one transaction, we’ll look for other similar ones and make it easy for you to apply the same changes, all in one go—making expense management even easier.
Split part-personal, part-business transactions
If you only need to expense part of a specific transaction, you can easily split it in Coconut, indicate how much was associated with business, and categorise the expense as usual.
Scan and store expense receipts
Take photos of your expense receipts and add them to your transactions, all via the app. You can add notes, too—to give yourself (and your accountant, if you have one) more context.
Keep on track with handy notifications
If we get an inkling that any of your expenses needs to be re-categorised or checked on, we’ll give you a heads up—to ensure you’re keeping on top of managing your expenses all year round.
