How to: add information to transactions (including receipts)

Knowing what a transaction is and why it was made makes accounting and tax season much easier. With Monzo Business you can instantly snap a photo of your receipts and add them to your transactions. Provide additional context about transactions by adding notes and #tags.  You can also categorise your transactions, and with Monzo Business Pro you can make these your own with Custom Categories.  

Auto-export live transactions also allows you to add your transactions (including your receipts, categories, notes and #tags) to Google Sheets automatically and in real time. Keep them in a folder for yourself, or share with whoever needs to see them - like your accountant - and they’ll have instant access 🎉.
