About ZeroPaste

Invoice extraction for bookkeepers who want less manual entry.

ZeroPaste turns invoice PDFs, forwarded invoice emails, and clean receipt photos into structured spreadsheet rows. It was built to remove repetitive data entry for bookkeepers and small finance teams without pretending to do the accounting for them.

What ZeroPaste does

ZeroPaste extracts the key fields bookkeepers usually need next: vendor, invoice number, invoice date, total, VAT, currency, due date, and line items where available. The result is a reviewable row you can export, rather than another file someone has to open and type from manually.

Why it exists

The product exists because manual invoice entry is still one of the least valuable repetitive jobs in bookkeeping. The aim is simple: move the work from copy-paste into review, so bookkeepers and finance teams spend their time checking exceptions instead of transcribing every document.

Privacy and reliability by design

ZeroPaste uses EU-hosted infrastructure and deletes original invoice files within 24 hours as a deliberate architectural decision. The point is to keep retention short, keep document handling predictable, and make the extraction layer easier to trust in client-facing bookkeeping workflows.
