Experience faster and more flexible file exports with our latest updates. Our new backend service enhances the speed, stability, and scalability of exports, now supporting unlimited rows. This improvement makes handling large datasets more efficient and reliable.
Customise your export templates with new options, including retroactive template selection and additional columns for journal codes and VAT account names. These features ensure seamless integration with various accounting systems.
You can now tailor purchase journals to meet specific accounting needs with greater control and precision in financial reporting. This addresses challenges with integrating large datasets and ensures seamless compatibility with more accounting software.

We’ve upgraded our NetSuite integration to boost your financial accuracy.
Accounting Date feature: The Accounting Date is now the primary date used when transferring data to NetSuite, ensuring expenses are recorded in the correct accounting period. By default, the Accounting Date matches the Invoice Date, but you can now adjust it to align with an open accounting period in NetSuite, which prevents errors from closed periods and avoids export failures.
This update is only available on selected plans. For more information, please get in touch with us.
Enhance your financial accuracy by assigning unique document IDs to all payables.
This allows you to:
Spot duplicates: Easily identify duplicate payables, preventing VAT, compliance, and financial discrepancies. This helps ensure that every transaction is accurate and prevents errors from repeated submissions.
Ensure compliance: Unique document IDs are essential for meeting regulatory requirements. They are crucial when submitting books to governing authorities, ensuring that all records are compliant and up to date.
Simplify audits: Auditors will often request specific payables to verify consistency and compliance. With unique IDs, you can streamline this process, making it easier to track and manage payables during audits.
This enhancement ensures that every transaction is uniquely identifiable, making your financial operations more consistent and reliable.
Simplify daily tasks with our new features designed to cut down on manual work.
Dynamic role-based approval flows: Use the new Cost Centre Owner role within approval flows to dynamically assign them to the correct individual.

Simplify the creation of approval workflows by creating a single, adaptable flow that works across various teams using new roles rather than individual names, allowing for the automatic assignment to the correct person.
Dynamic role assignment: Set up workflows with the new “Cost Centre Owner” role to dynamically assign the correct individual. A new "Reporting Manager" role is coming soon, which can be assigned manually or pulled from your HR tool.
Simplified approval: This allows one approval flow to adapt to different teams, ensuring the right people are always in the loop with smart, role-based approvals.
Enhanced automation: Automate workflows to empower cost-centre and reporting managers to handle approvals efficiently.
Role assignment: All customers will be able to manually assign roles, but, once live, those with a connected HR tool can benefit from automatic "Reporting Manager" role assignments.
This feature is available on selected plans. Contact us to learn more.
We’ve enhanced your expense management with new bulk submission and approval features designed to save you time and streamline processes. Requesters and approvers can now submit multiple expenses in one go, simplifying the claim process and reducing administrative overhead.
Bulk submission: Requesters can now bundle multiple expenses into a single claim, making it quicker and easier to manage their submissions.
Streamlined approval: Budget owners can review and approve multiple requests at once. Requests are grouped by the requester, allowing users to review the total amount and approve all items with a single tap. For added convenience, users can also swipe to approve individual or grouped requests.
Platform availability: While bulk submission is currently available on desktop only, bulk approval can be accessed across desktop, iOS, and Android.
These updates help make expense management more efficient and less time-consuming. For more details, please get in touch with us.

Available on selected plans. For more details on how this feature can benefit you, please get in touch with us.
We’re introducing enhanced transparency with a new feature for tracing supplier bank changes.

Detailed history: Account Owners (AOs) and Controllers can now click the 'View History' button to access a comprehensive log of changes made to supplier bank details. This includes information on who made the changes, ensuring accountability.
