Why ApprovalMax + Xero?
Keeping approvers
out of the accounting system
Granting everyone access to the accounting system is not safe because it’s impossible to limit users in terms of what they can do or see there. ApprovalMax approvers don’t need access to the general ledger and only ever see information relevant to the documents that require their approval.
Flexible approval workflows
recreate your delegation
of authority policy
The approval workflows can be as complex or as simple as you need them. You can implement a variety of rules for each approval step and have as many steps as you like. No matter how complex your delegation of authority policy is, it can be automated with ApprovalMax.
Automatically generated
audit reports
You no longer need to waste time compiling audit logs. ApprovalMax creates for each approved document a detailed audit report, which gets attached to it in the accounting system. There is also the option to provide auditors with access to all the approval workflows in read-only mode so that they can easily view and analyse your approval process.
Eliminating paper
and manual approvals
ApprovalMax is the key app for enabling truly paperless accounting: no need to print out invoices to have them signed off, or send them by email and chase approvers afterwards. We save you that effort by automating the entire authorisation process.
