VEDA & Payhawk: Transforming accounting processes for Partner clients

In the world of fintech and accounting, some partnerships are built on shared vision and innovation. That's definitely the case with VEDA, a pioneer in tech accounting, and our innovative spend management platform at Payhawk. Surprisingly, it started with a chance meeting. Danny from VEDA Accounting caught sight of our CEO, Hristo Borisov's tech-savvy style (marked by his Apple Watch), and an initial conversation turned into an implementation and then a full embrace of our technology at VEDA.

We recently chatted with VEDA's Founder, Maggie Stancheva, to learn how our partnership has transformed VEDA's operations and helped their business thrive.

Who is VEDA?

"At VEDA, we're more than just an accounting firm; for our customers, we're partners in financial growth. Based in Bulgaria and the UK, we specialise in providing tailored services that empower all sorts of businesses to thrive. We have seen it all, from fledgling start-ups with their first seed funding to blooming scale-ups. A fun fact about VEDA is that we knew Payhawk way before it was cool – long before it achieved its unicorn status. Their journey to a market leader was incredible to witness. We have been privileged to partner with them many steps of the way, leveraging their cutting-edge technology to elevate our services. Their innovative approach and commitment to excellence have significantly impacted our efficiency and customer satisfaction, reinforcing our belief in the power of strategic partnerships."

How does Payhawk’s platform help you in your business?

"As professional accountants, our main focus is on delivering value to our clients. However, Payhawk flips the script, allowing us to boost our operational efficiency even further. Gone are the days of slow, manual expense management here at VEDA. Payhawk's automation has literally revolutionised our workflow, turning tedious tasks into seamless processes and streamlining our working methods in general. This efficiency means we can now devote more time to what truly matters to us – driving our clients' success. The Payhawk platform is helpful here, too. The advanced analytics tools help us uncover valuable insights and trends hidden within financial data, further improving the services we can offer our clients. In addition, Payhawk helps us significantly minimise the risks of human errors."
