Case Study: Avanlea saves 900 hours a year with Shoeboxed

How Avanlea Bookkeeper Saves 900 Hours a Year with Shoeboxed

Avanlea Inc., an accounting and bookkeeping business led by Kimberly Mickel in South Carolina, struggled to keep up with the huge volume of client receipts arriving before tax season. Before using Shoeboxed, she spent an estimated 900 hours a year manually sorting and organizing receipts, which also increased costs for her clients and made audit preparation harder.

To solve this, Avanlea used Shoeboxed’s Magic Envelope service so clients could mail receipts directly to Shoeboxed for scanning, verification, and digital storage. With Shoeboxed, Kimberly gained easier access to organized records, audit-ready documentation, automated reports, and category totals, while reducing manual work and improving per-client efficiency. The measurable impact was a savings of about 900 hours per year.
