Overview

IF multi-entity, THEN Mayday

“Saves us time in automating what was once hours of manual work” – Chantelle Bryce

If you manage a group of companies, or if you manually process intra-entity charges between departments, you’ll know how frustrating it can be to deal with this kind of work.

Mayday is the answer. We add a layer on top of your Xero files so you can automate intercompany and intra-entity charges, run balance sheet recs and match bank transactions to invoices and bills across entities.

Proud to be Xero’s Emerging App Partner of the Year 2023, with 130+ glowing reviews.

Mayday Recharger

“If you've used Xero's bank rules, you'll find the recharge rules so intuitive” – Yona Levander

  • Automate intercompany and intra-entity charges: Removing the manual work of recharging costs and revenues between departments or group entities. Reducing scope for human error, and average recharge time by 98%.
  • Create your own rules: Like the bank rules you use in Xero, create rules to automate the calculation of your intercompany recharges.
  • Aligned with Xero processes: Your recharge rules will pick up the relevant Xero transactions and calculate your recharges, including cross currency. Then one-click post back to Xero. A task which used to take a whole day is now a tick-box task which takes just minutes.

Mayday Balancer

“Lifesaver for identifying loan account discrepancies” – Katrina Bignasca

  • Intercompany balance sheet recs in just a few clicks: Instead of the painful manual matching on Excel that you might have done in the past, Balancer cross-checks your intercompany balances to ensure they are always in sync.
  • Discrepancies clearly visible: Quickly find the culprit that unbalanced the accounts and rectify posting asymmetry.
  • Simplified adjustments: Any FX and/or interest adjustments are auto-calculated for you to one-click post back to Xero.

BRAG (Bank Reconciliation Across the Group)

“BRAG makes the best screen in Xero even better!” – Lauren Harvey

  • No more switching between Xero files: Reconcile bank feed items in one entity to bills or invoices in other Xero entities, all from one screen, just like the Match function in Xero. If the invoice doesn't already exist in Xero, create it without needing to leave the bank rec screen, just like Xero's Create function.
  • Spend 40% less time reconciling intercompany transactions: No need to spend ages hunting for relevant invoices, or creating them in the other entity before reconciling.
  • Eliminates the risk of one-sided postings to a loan account: Take care of both entries for cross-entity bank rec in one click.
  • Eliminates risk of bills being paid twice: Mark the bill as paid and the bank feed item as reconciled in one click. No need to worry that a bill could show as outstanding and get paid twice.

Mayday + Xero

“Mayday enables us to use Xero rather than NetSuite. It's as simple as that.” – Jordan McCreary, OG Group

Mayday integrates securely with Xero, connecting with your Xero organisations and pulling all the relevant transaction data.

Mayday Balancer syncs with your Xero organisations and uses loan account mappings to display your postings side-by-side. We automate the relevant FX and/or interest adjustments and you one-click post them to Xero.

Mayday Recharger syncs regularly with your Xero organisations so that you can access each group entity’s information in real-time, automate the relevant recharges, and one-click post back to Xero.

BRAG (Bank Reconciliation Across the Group) is a browser extension that functions from within the Xero bank rec interface, enhancing Xero’s regular bank rec so that it now works for cross-entity bank rec.

Elite product. Introduced by an elite advisor

I'm the FD of an 9-entity business. I've always loved Xero from my time in practice. But there's always so much on for us. Staying on top of how to get the most out of Xero and its ecosystem, in the way that we need to as a fast-growing group, is so challenging. I'm so grateful to Becki from UHY. I worked with her at Dains. She is super switched on. I take her systems recommendations seriously. And I'm so glad I did when she suggested I check out Mayday. It's an incredible suite. It kills so much pain for us as a group. Intercompany balance sheet recs were a nightmare. The intelligent transaction matching in Balancer is an absolute lifesaver. And Recharger is so well thought through. It makes our intercompany recharges so much easier. The team at Mayday have been brilliant to work with. They've been so helpful in helping us get the most out of the product suite. This is an accountant making a software recommendation at its very best.

Perfect fit for our 34-entity business!

We were missing a lot of gaps when it came to closing month end pre-Mayday as Xero's system was not working for our 34-multi-entity business. Thankfully, we found Mayday and there's no looking back. I can't believe how long we used to spend manually balancing our accounts across the business and the stress and inacurracies we'd face due to the complexity of the process. Now we have complete peace of month and we've cut the time spent our month end process by 50%!

Absolute game changer!

Before discovering Mayday I was manually recharging and reconciling inter-company for 12 different entities. Historically, this has been a huge job. Automating intercompany recharging is something that it's incredibly easy to do badly, but phenomenally hard to do well. It's a binary sport. A solution either gets it right, or it's pointless. Worse than pointless actually, as it can give the veneer of accuracy when actually there are issues hiding in the resulting recharges. I've been highly impressed both by the quality of Mayday as well as how communicative and helpful the team have been. We've just subscribed for a year; if you have multiple entities this will revolutionise the way you perform inter-company processes
