ApprovalMax can help your business

Overview

At ApprovalMax, we understand the challenge of managing accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) in a fast-paced world. That’s why we’ve designed an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution to help Xero customers like you save time, reduce paper, and gain full control over your approvals. Say goodbye to long email threads and paper trails – our automated workflows handle everything from bills to purchase orders (POs) to invoices, credit notes, and batch payments.

Don’t just take our word for it – hundreds of Xero customers have given ApprovalMax 5-star reviews for boosting efficiency, improving accuracy, and speeding up invoice approvals. And the best part? Your financial data stays secure. Approvers don’t need full access to Xero; they only see what’s relevant to them, keeping everything safe.

We’re always working to make your life easier. Check out our latest updates:

  • ApprovalMax Capture: Upload images or PDFs of your documents, and we’ll automatically scan, import, and get them ready for approval – no manual data entry needed.
  • ApprovalMax Pay: Once bills are approved, you can pay them securely, directly from the platform, using open banking technology. No more jumping between systems. (UK only)

Here’s why businesses love ApprovalMax:

  • Automated approvals: Set up workflows that fit your business. Streamline approvals, manage delegation, and reduce bottlenecks.
  • Full control: From purchase orders to bill approvals to batch payments, you decide what happens and when.
  • Budget checking: Keep a close eye on spending and check against budgets in real time, so you’re never caught off guard.
  • Sales invoices and quotes: Quickly create, approve, and send sales invoices and quotes to customers – all from within ApprovalMax.
  • Audit-ready: Automatically generate audit reports, making audit preparation painless and stress-free.

Here's why accounting and bookkeeping firms trust ApprovalMax:

  • Clean data: Sleep easy knowing your clients’ data is accurate and properly coded.
  • Reduce risk: With every step requiring approval, you can confidently share responsibility with your clients.
  • Standardisation: Help your clients streamline their processes and stay consistent with best-in-class approval workflows.

  • Pay it: Complete payments with Airwallex batch payments (currently available for UK, Australia, and New Zealand businesses).

Keeps getting better

Has provided workflow management around document approval that has an intuitive interface. There are a few rough edges, but not enough to take off a star.

Response from ApprovalMax

Thanks for the 5 stars Ian - consider those rough edges on our to-do list.

Great way to track approvals

The programme integrates well with Xero, However, if your approvers don't go into ApprovalMax every day to approve bills, they get held up and you obviously can't see them in Xero until they get approved. This is a User issue though and not a software problem ; P

Response from ApprovalMax

Thanks for sharing! If approvals are getting held up, you might find our new 'Nudge' feature useful – it's like a virtual tap on the shoulder to remind approvers. It's currently in Beta, so if you're interested in trying it out, just contact support via the app.

Great for some but not for all

We have a client with a lot of steps so would love it if Approval Max could link to sales too Its fab for general approvals :)

Response from ApprovalMax

Thanks for sharing, Alison! We’re so glad to hear that ApprovalMax is working well for your general approvals. Our product team will reach out soon to learn more about how your client would like to use it for sales.
