It’s about enabling smarter decisions
Think of finance as a control tower. If you don't have visibility, you can't land the planes. But when you can see your data clearly, everything lands seamlessly where it should.
Make sure your multi-entity finance management solution helps you do these five important things for a start:
- Make faster, better investment decisions
- Understand performance across regions
- Allocate funds where they'll make the biggest impact
- Catch issues before they snowball into losses
- Build trust with your board through data-driven reporting
Make sure your solution offers real-time visibility, auto-reconciliation, and seamless integrations with your (ERP NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Xero, etc) to help you stop your 'planes from circling' and take you from number crunching to a value-adding, strategic partner.
Andrew Jacobi, VP of US Finance at State of Play Hospitality, describes how the right solution and the visibility it created helped their team make decisions about spend easily, saying:
We get complete spend visibility thanks to Payhawk's integration with NetSuite. That flow of spend data means we can understand our P&L very quickly after we produce it, with no headaches.
Control spend across entities, currencies, and teams
Back to the plane analogy: Managing global spend shouldn't feel like operating the control tower on a foggy day. At Payhawk, our Group Dashboard gives you a clear, real-time view of expenses, budgets, and team activity across all your entities — no blind spots, no spreadsheet turbulence.
You can monitor reimbursements, card payments, and invoices by region, department, or cost type. Spot your biggest spenders, act on low balances, and manage liquidity planning proactively — whether you're dealing in euros, pounds, dollars, or dirhams.
You can also define what counts as an expense at the group level and roll that out globally via workflows and policies built right into the system where your cardholders spend. That means no more chasing rogue formats or missing data — just clean, compliant, consistent inputs that make reporting a breeze.
Serkan Yüksel, Lead of Digital Transformation Finance at Hypoport SE, says, "We can now manage liquidity planning more efficiently and accurately through the dashboard and take better control by segmenting data by subsidiaries, teams, and cost types."
Local nuance, global control
Managing multiple entities means dealing with local tax rules, payment formats, currencies, and languages. And yes, that gets complex fast.
But the right platform can handle all this without making your life harder.
At Payhawk, we support local payment methods and currency options, offer local-language interfaces, and even let you tailor corporate card controls or workflows by entity. But it's all under one roof. You get the global control you need with the local nuance your teams rely on.
Robbie Hadfield, ACCA, Senior Director of Solution Engineering at Payhawk, says:
For companies that want to protect and segregate entities for legal purposes, our platform keeps operational businesses separate from central headquarters, minimising potential legal liabilities. Our integrations with solutions like NetSuite help companies scale efficiently and control costs, e.g. ensuring that HQ costs can be charged to operational entities for streamlined financial management.
Get month-end under control — for good
Is closing the books across entities taking days or even weeks? At Payhawk, we make sure you don't have to wait until the end of the month to find out what's missing. Our AI auto-chases missing receipts and info to keep you as up-to-date as possible with no gaps. And standardised workflows let you route approvals and payments by entity, while a central overview shows where you're blocked. No more manual status checks, just smooth, synced progress that keeps you close to track.
Do you have entities trading with each other? Our setup eliminates messy intercompany loans and reconciliations. You get faster closes and happier auditors. And with our Group Employee Module, onboarding is just as efficient. Add employees across multiple entities in one go, appoint approvers, and manage team structures from a single interface.
From vision to reality
Companies like international jewellery brand Astrid & Miyu have already made the switch.
And the results? 40+ hours freed up each week. Expenses processed 66% faster — full multi-currency support, without fragmentation.
Stephen Wilkinson, Finance and Operations Director at Astrid & Miyu, explains:
Payhawk's multi-entity management and multi-currency support is particularly critical for a business managing operations across four countries. Previously, country-specific platforms or card providers made cost tracking fragmented and cumbersome. But with Payhawk, these challenges disappeared!
Finance leaders at growing companies often tell us the same thing: they wish they'd made the change sooner. The right platform pays for itself in time saved, risk avoided, and growth unlocked.
Visibility isn't a nice to have — it's a necessity. For finance teams, spending visibility across entities leads to faster month-end, fewer surprises, and more time for strategy. Want to try it for yourself?
