Value for money is best achieved by implementing efficient and transparent workflows. They deliver accurate finance data, show how money has been spent, where there's room for improvement, and even control who can purchase what from which supplier. It's high time for the education sector to stop using those outdated paper-based processes! Implementing Xero and ApprovalMax improves overall efficiency and those in charge of the academy finances can see that.

We got ApprovalMax for the paperless distribution of invoices and easy tracking of the approval process. It also lets us set up multiple approval levels depending on invoice amounts. In general, it saves us a lot of time. Suppliers are encouraged to email their invoices straight to Hubdoc and the finance department makes sure they go directly to the responsible budget holders, who'll find a digital copy in their ApprovalMax records. So, nothing gets lost any more. Every invoice with the complete approval history is stored in Xero, which has significantly reduced both the on-site visit time for annual audits and follow-up enquires.

ApprovalMax helped us pass an external audit, allowing us to address some points raised previously. This gave us the opportunity to focus on more productive issues, while minimising the time spent on audit preparation.

ApprovalMax is the perfect tool for schools wanting to move to a paperless system. By significantly increasing the efficiency of approvals, ApprovalMax speeds up transaction management processes considerably. It provides busy teaching staff with easy and quick access for approving invoices, and saves finance administrators a lot of time. Combined with Xero and Hubdoc, ApprovalMax ensures a seamless management of the payables process and also generates automatically detailed audit records.
