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.

Helps me achieve my mission

I've worked in the finance function of a business that migrated away from Xero to an ERP and in the finance function of a business that continued to grow with Xero and in my current role we have quickly scaled to 4 entities and become a regulated business and we intend to use xero for as long as possible. My mission is to find ways for us continue to scale with Xero. Intercompany is a critical gap in Xero's suite. That is until we found Mayday. All three of their products have been invaluable for us and their speed of growth has supported our own. Intercompany balance sheet recs were a painful, time-consuming, tedium of switching between Xero files, downloading and manually matching transactions. Balancer is incredible. It saves so much of the worst type of work and gives high credibility to the numbers. In setting up our US entity we originally used the UK entity's bank account to pay all US entity expenses. BRAG is incredible. Such a time saver and a prevention against one-sided transactions to an intercompany account, and we go can do it as we go as supposed to saving up work for month end. As we've matured into putting a Transfer Pricing Policy and formal recharging policy in place, Recharger has come into its own. So intuitive and powerful. It saves so much time. The best thing is it auto-posts, so I can manage it all from one place. I Love Mayday as a product and the people behind it. It enables me to scale with Xero and kick contemplation of moving to an ERP well into the long grass. Would highly recommend Mayday's https://www.cfotechstack.com/ community, it provides me with invaluable insights about how best to grow with Xero and opens up a community of other finance professionals facing similar problems.

Where Beautiful Accounting Software meets Marvellous Multi-entity Month End

I love Xero. I love Mayday. It's as simple as that. This is THE must-have app for any multi-entity Xero-using business. It's the perfect combination. ​ Mayday is so well conceived. So well executed. You can just tell how much hard work has gone into thinking about and catering to all of the complexities of keeping intercompanies in balance and running recharges. ​ Recharging is one of those processes that it's easy to automate badly. But Mayday has done an incredible job. Their product caters to our needs so well. ​ Brilliant value for money, and a brilliant, helpful team behind it. They've been so helpful in enabling us to get the most out of their fantastic product suite.
