Built for Entrepreneurs, by Entrepreneurs
We started SparkReceipt because we were tired of clunky, overpriced tools that made bookkeeping harder than it needed to be. As small business owners ourselves, we built the AI-powered platform we wished we’d had—simple, affordable, and designed to make receipts, expenses, and reports take minutes, not hours.
Our Story
Our mission is to simplify accounting, financial management, and document organization for solopreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners by providing an intuitive, efficient, and affordable solution that encompasses receipt scanning, expense tracking, document management, and income tracking.
Built for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs, SparkReceipt reflects our deep understanding of the needs and challenges of small business owners, ensuring that every feature supports streamlined operations and comprehensive financial oversight.
As a small business owner, Antti, the founder, was often lost in the never-ending hustle of managing receipts, outbound invoices, and bank statements. He needed a business receipt scanner that fit his specific needs, not just another expense tracker. His requirements led him to create SparkReceipt, a receipt scanner app designed to streamline the processes that bogged him down.
As SparkReceipt began to grow, Antti recognized the need for additional expertise. In the spring of 2024, Antti met Joel Ojala through mutual acquaintances. Joel, with over a decade of experience in fintech and SaaS, joined the team, bringing invaluable commercial success to SparkReceipt. He had previously co-owned and led the Finnish expense management software eTasku and founded ReceiptHero.
Joel and Sampsa Vainio had worked together on both eTasku and ReceiptHero. Recognizing the potential to scale SparkReceipt, Joel invited Sampsa to join our team. With a decade of experience as a solopreneur in online marketing and having worked with over 100 clients globally, Sampsa’s expertise in digital marketing has been instrumental in growing our user base.
In 2025, our team grew again. Jukka joined in May, followed by Mikko in July—both talented engineers dedicated to building new features and continuously improving SparkReceipt. Their work ensures that our product doesn’t just keep up with customer needs but stays ahead of them.
We’re not chasing quick wins or exits. SparkReceipt is here for the long haul, with a simple promise: keep improving the product, keep serving entrepreneurs, and never slow down.
When you share your receipts and financial data with us, you trust us with a big part of your business. We take that seriously. Security, reliability, and honesty guide every decision we make.
We believe the best products are built by teams that feel safe, supported, and free to speak up. That’s why openness and respect shape how we work every day—both with each other and with our customers. |
