How is Payhawk different from a Global Accounts Payable or a Multi-Entity Accounting system?

The main difference between Payhawk and other multi-entity systems is that Payhawk, in addition to having access to the spend data at a group level, also allows the issuance of [corporate cards](/product-visa-cards), lets you track mileage, create per diems, and manage out-of-pocket expenses.

I’m already a Payhawk customer, how do I start using multi-entity management (MEM)?

Please contact your Customer Success Specialist.

How much does MEM cost? Is the cost related to the number of entities in the group?

No, the cost is not related to the number of entities. MEM is only included in our [Enterprise Plan.](/pricing-and-plans)

In which countries is MEM available?

MEM is available in all EEA countries, the UK, and the USA.

“The Payhawk Group Dashboard lets us monitor group-wide expenses even faster and with more agility. 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.”

Standardise expense settings globally

Define expense fields and types available to submit at the group level, and apply across multiple entities to standardise expense submission and avoid chasing data. Make any changes and these will be automatically applied across your global business.

Streamline workflows across multiple entities

Simplify workflow management via the user-friendly platform. Build group-level workflows and apply them across multiple entities. You can still choose to manage workflows at an entity level to accommodate specific requirements, for example designated spend approvers.

Streamline Accounts Payable across your entities

Quickly check what outstanding information remains in each of your entities. View the number of expenses that need action, such as approval or payment, and take appropriate action to resolve them.

Close your month faster

Manage your month-end close faster and more efficiently. No need to wait until the end of the month to start the process, as you can easily track and chase expenses with missing approval in just a few clicks.

Support multi-entity accounting

From sharing invoices between entities or entities trading with each other, multi-entity accounting can be a nightmare. Opening a Payhawk account for each of your legal entities eliminates intercompany transactions and loans across subsidiaries. Plus, with MEM, you get centralised control and visibility — all in one place.

Onboard your teams across entities quickly and securely

Use the Group Employee Module to track the number of employees and active Payhawk users you have onboard. Invite employees in bulk, add new employees in several entities with one click, and appoint team managers and expense approvers at a group level.

Simplify managing your team structure

Manage your team globally with all of your Payhawk users’ relevant information in one screen. Create, delete, and edit teams at a group level to eliminate repetitive tasks across entities, such as the need to invite the same manager in all entities. Appoint multiple Group Administrators to overview all entities.
