“Using Payhawk has helped us take control of business expenses, policies, and compliance. And, it’s helped avoid admin, paperwork, Excel back and forth, and reimbursements via payroll.”
“The OCR does part of my job by identifying duplicate invoices and populating the fields so it’s like the four-eyes principle in action: a real time saver!”
“Data is key. I use information from the ERP every day for things like expense control and decision making. We can top up funds or check something against the budget, using the data from prepayments to balance payments to make the right allocations and reduce back and forth with suppliers”
