Grumbling

The fees charged by accountants, yes they spend a lot of time entering numbers but once those numbers are entered, that software pays for it's self quickly. I don't know if they pay a yearly fee to use the software or purchase it, upgrades would be never ending as government and CRA add changes to make things easier and allowing us to keep our money . . . . . . . or not.

Then you need to buy yourself a scanner with ocr tech. I bought a NEAT back in '15. It does a half ass job on certain receipts and a 5 star stellar job on others. Depends on the program the retailer is using. McDonald's Wal-Mart Canadian tire, it reads absolutely everything, date, amount, gst, pst... my agco dealer it reads everything as well. New Holland it misses on for some reason. Takes about 3 clicks and after you select which category you want it in. Then it will import to quickbooks and you can upload bank statements as well. I can do the whole year in a week. There's better newer systems out there but these scanners that read are a must have imo.
Neat*is a complete filing system with a physical scanner, scanning app for your smartphone, and online account access. The app accesses your smartphone’s camera to scan receipts, then extracts the most important information, saving you the time and effort of entering these details separately.

If you need to give someone else access to your receipts—your manager or business partner, for example—you can share your receipts and expenses with necessary parties by providing view-only access to specific folders. The system even has the capability of storing comments on each expense item.

You can also upload PDFs, images, and electronic receipts from your computer and file these right along with the receipts you’ve scanned from your smartphone. Sync your data across devices so that you can access your files from anywhere. You can quickly and easily create expense reports from your smartphone or tablet using the data from your receipts with a summary of your spending and an itemized list of your expenses.

Potential downside:*Neat isn't the most cost-effective option, although it does offer three payment plan levels.*

Google "OCR receipt scanner" and you'll find the other options out there

Another thing that irks me and not sure how it happened but I can't go to the local coop 4 minutes away to get a bottle of penicillin for the cows ...I have to talk to my vet 45 minutes away for a prescription....

Jesus its getting annoying.....

Much like when my kids would get ear infections and we would know its a dose of ammoxicilin or whatever ...nope. instead off to the doctor an hour away for the exact thing but they would give us 4 pills until the pharmacy opened up...

Doc gives me a refillable prescription of 5 day amoxicillin for all my potential farm/weather inflicted infections. Told me I am too busy farming to be screwing around and driving 2 hours round trip to her to get a few pills. Guess it isn't a common thing because even pharmacist that refilled it said to his assistant, 'this is really odd, we never refill antibiotics.' But she is also a common sense Doc and not well liked by her snowflake Millenial OBGYN patients in delivery room when she tells them to shut up, quit screaming and get the job done.
