Overview

For in-house finance teams and multi-entity groups in the "M of SMB", month end is dominated by hours spent manually identifying transactions, calculating adjustments and posting journals.

Mayday reduces these manual workflows to one-click, enabling a faster, error-free close.

Through Mayday's partnership with Xero, we are offering new Mayday customers 50% off all plans for a limited time. Use these codes at checkout:

  • ๐—ซ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ข๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฌ๐— ๐—ข๐—ก๐—ง๐—›๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ โ†’ 50% off for the first 6 months of a monthly plan

  • ๐—ซ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ข๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฌ๐—”๐—ก๐—ก๐—จ๐—”๐—Ÿ โ†’ 50% off the first year of an annual plan

Hereโ€™s what youโ€™ll be able to automate with Mayday:

  • Problem: Posting expense and revenue journals requires manually identifying relevant transactions, calculating schedules, and posting to Xero.

  • Solution: Instantly identify which transactions require treatment. Apply recommended schedules and post to Xero in one click.

โ€œEasy to use and flexible, it handles any situation you throw at it.โ€ Martin Goodwin

๐—•๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—ก๐—–๐—˜๐—ฅ: Ensure your loan accounts never fall out of balance.

  • Problem: Loan accounts frequently fall out of balance due to posting asymmetry, FX errors, or missed interest.

  • Solution: Instantly flag discrepancies, pinpoint the culprit transaction, and post FX or interest adjustments to Xero in a single click.

โ€œA lifesaver for identifying discrepancies.โ€ Katrina Bignasca

๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—–๐—›๐—”๐—ฅ๐—š๐—˜๐—ฅ: Automate your cost and revenue recharges.

  • Problem: Completing recharges manually means exporting transactions, identifying treatment, calculating in spreadsheets, and posting line by line.

  • Solution: Setup rules to identify relevant transactions and automatically apply recharge calculations. Review calculations and post as invoice, bill or journal back to Xero.

โ€œIf youโ€™ve used Xeroโ€™s bank rules, youโ€™ll find the recharge rules so intuitive.โ€ Yona Levander

๐—•๐—ฅ๐—”๐—š: Reconcile bank transactions across your group.

  • Problem: In Xero's bank reconciliation screen, users canโ€™t see cross-entity matches. Finance teams must switch entities to find corresponding invoices or bills.

  • Solution: BRAG extends Xeroโ€™s bank rec screen to group level, so you can instantly match transactions to other entitiesโ€™ invoices and bills, or create a new bill, invoice, or intercompany transfer in the right entity.

โ€œBRAG makes the best screen in Xero even better!โ€ Lauren Harvey

๐—›๐—ค: Ensure consistency across your group Chart of Accounts and Tracking Categories.

  • Problem: Misnamed or missing Chart of Accounts and Tracking Category codes across entities lead to reporting errors.

  • Solution: HQ allows you to easily fix or add codes and post directly to Xero.

โ€œLoved the grid form and traffic-light system.โ€ Katherine Parry

Xero is the Bricks and MayDay is the Plumbing

At Cloudfox (https://cloudfox.it/ ), we specialise in helping Purpose Built Student Accommodation, Build to Rent and Co-Living operators design and implement finance systems that scale with their portfolios โ€” without forcing a premature move to ERP. We have implemented Xero more than 300 times, working extensively with complex, multi-entity groups including SPV-heavy ownership structures, operating companies, management entities and fund-level reporting. From single-asset vehicles through to groups with 70+ entities, weโ€™ve seen first-hand how a well-designed Xero-based tech stack can support serious operational scale. Xero is an exceptional general ledger for the living sector. It provides the strongest possible foundation โ€” the bricks and tiles โ€” on which to build a modern finance function. When combined with the right adjacent tools, finance teams can continue to operate efficiently and accurately long after many peers have defaulted to ERP. Across PBSA, BTR and Co-Living, one challenge is universal: month-end close. High transaction volumes, deferred income, prepayments, intercompany activity and investor reporting place sustained pressure on finance teams. Just as no building is complete without proper plumbing, no mid-market Xero-based tech stack in this sector is complete without Mayday. Maydayโ€™s automation is best-in-class. From AI-driven handling of deferred revenue and prepayments, through to close management, accruals, intercompany balance sheet reconciliations, recharges and cross-entity bank reconciliation, it directly addresses the realities of multi-entity living sector groups. Mayday is a core part of the solution we prescribe to our clients โ€” not as an add-on, but as essential infrastructure for finance teams operating at scale.

Weโ€™ve only been using Mayday for a few weeks and have already seen significant time savings. The Balancer and BRAG features have streamlined month-end, especially across multiple entities, and the support has been consistently quick and helpful. Hein has been excellent in supporting our onboarding.

Mayday vs Translucent

I spent a year with Translucent but have ultimately switched over to Mayday despite price differences. For me the deciding factor was being able to create rules for multiple accounts e.g. shared overheads recharged. Since using it I have found it is ultimately a lot more flexible tool that its competitor and you can get very granular detail with the way they have its setup. Be mindful you might need to utilise Xero tracking in some circumstances to achieve what you want to achieve.. but ultimately a better tool overall. Great UX too.
