The bookkeeper who showed me my receipts were a mess

For three years I just threw all my business receipts into a shoebox and dealt with them at tax time. Last February my bookkeeper sat me down and showed me a pile of $400 in late fees I paid because I couldn't find a single receipt. Now I snap a photo with my phone the second I buy anything for the shop, even a $5 box of screws. Has anyone else found a system that keeps them from drowning in paper every April?

God that sounds awful. I use a simple folder system by month and toss everything in there immediately.

Same here, month folders and dump everything in, never looking back.
