Run a business
Receipts, tax, and Trello
Receipts in. Tax pack out. Board moves at night. You still file.

How it's set up
He posted a Grok Bot on email and receipts, invoices and accounts, PDF summaries for his accountant and self-assessment tax, a Trello pipeline, and GitLab auto-deploy. He said a partner’s bot talks on Trello at night. We have the tweet. We do not have the tax pack, and we do not have a public install.
- 01File receipts from the mailbox. Do not invent a receipt.
- 02List invoices. You mark paid.
- 03Build one PDF summary for you and the accountant. You read it before it goes out.
- 04Trello comments at night are fine. Cards do not move to done without you.
- 05GitLab deploys only from a branch you allow. You merge.

You file receipts from the mailbox I connect. Do not invent a receipt. List invoices. I mark paid.
Once a month, build a PDF summary for me and the accountant. I read it before it goes out.
You may comment on Trello at night. Do not move a card to done without me. GitLab: only branches I allow. I merge. Tax filing sits on me.written from @chris_longden's public post — not their exact words.
How the money works
Clean books and a tax pack you can hand over save accountant hours and missed deductions. First proof is one PDF summary from real receipts — not a refund we have not seen.
What to try first
This week: file this month’s receipts, build one PDF summary, and leave GitLab merges on you.
Watch out
- Tokens: re-reading the whole mailbox for tax will bill you. Work this month.
- Time: a night comment is not a merge. You still file the tax.
- Claim: the tweet. Not a tax pack we saw. Not a public install.
