Do you have trouble reconciling your bill payments with your accounting books? If your ledger doesn’t add up due to errors from manual entries, it could be time to integrate your bill payment and your accounting processes.
 

Manual entry of your bill payments into your accounting documentation can lead to errors, stalls in your organization’s productivity and hours of your employees’ time wasted.

But there is a solution.

Syncing up your accounting with your payments will do wonders for your employee productivity, savings, accuracy in reporting, and your organization’s overall growth in the long run.

If you’re currently using Xero for your accounting needs and are wondering how to tie a bill payment system in with your existing software, there’s good news – Spenmo has launched an update for automated integrations with Xero!

 

What’s new with this update

With this latest update, Spenmo has now enhanced its integration with Xero for a fully automated and error-free bill payment and accounting system.

Instead of manually entering bill payments into your Xero spreadsheet, Spenmo now does the work for you automatically. With every bill payment entered into your Spenmo system, your Xero account instantly updates with the billing information, saving you the hassle of transferring the information manually.

How does it work?


With this latest integration, the process of bill recognition to reconciliation is cut by 90% vs. using Xero only. If you’re wondering how it all works, here are the steps Spenmo takes to automatically to save you the time needed for manual entries:

Step 1: Upload Bills

Upload your bills in Spenmo by importing the billing document or snapping a photo. Once finished, a “Draft Bill”’ will automatically be created in your Xero account, including all category and tax details. 

Step 2: Bill Approval

Once your bill is approved and ready, the status of your bill in Xero will be changed automatically to “Awaiting Payment”.

Step 3: Payment Complete. Transaction has been Synced

Once the transaction has been completed, your payment will be automatically synced with Xero to reflect the payment, updating your balance accordingly.

Here are some of the exciting features of the Spenmo-Xero integration that will make the payment process more seamless and efficient:

Why bill payment integration into accounting is important

Simplify process

By integrating the bill payment process, the entire process is simplified and saves your finance team the trouble of manually updating each bill payment.
