Why do small businesses still copy invoice data in 2026?

I’ve spoken to 12 small businesses this month. 9 of them still manually copy invoice totals into spreadsheets. Not because they like it. Because automation tools feel too complex or overkill. Why is invoice automation still built for accountants instead of builders and landlords?

Do you still manually type invoices into spreadsheets?

I’ve been looking at how people track expenses for projects, and I was surprised how many still manually type supplier invoices and receipts into Google Sheets. It feels like something that shouldn’t still be normal. Curious — how many of you still track expenses this way instead of using accounting software? What’s the most annoying part of that workflow?
