Reshito: Why We Built an AI Receipt Scanner for Japan's Freelancers
If you’ve ever filed a 確定申告 (tax return) in Japan as a freelancer, you know the drill. A shoebox full of receipts. A spreadsheet you swore you’d update weekly but haven’t touched since July. And the looming March deadline that somehow always catches you off guard.
That’s exactly the problem we kept running into at BenStay. We manage multiple properties, track expenses across different projects, and deal with the full spectrum of Japanese receipts — from handwritten ryokan invoices to konbini thermal paper that fades before tax season.
So we built Reshito.
