Invoice validation

The problem

Your accounting team is spending half an FTE every month checking invoices that a system should handle.

“We have no idea where an invoice is until someone chases it.”

- Finance Director, hospitality group

“We’ve paid the same supplier twice this quarter because no one caught the duplicate.”

- Operations Manager, multi-site operator

“Budget owners don’t know what’s been approved until it hits the account.”

- CFO, professional services firm
0.5 FTE

The average operational cost of manual invoice processing in a 100–200 person organisation. That is one person, every month, doing work a system can do in seconds.

What we do

The solution

Intake automated. Validation built. Routing implemented. Control increased — not reduced.

Invoice intake redesigned

Submission form built for staff. PDF, DOCX, and email accepted. Payment status captured at point of entry — not chased afterwards.

Validation and extraction automated

Supplier data, net/gross/tax values, and budget codes extracted automatically into Google Sheets. No manual data entry.

Approval routing implemented

Invoices routed to the correct budget owner automatically. Approved or rejected in a single action. Accounting notified instantly.

Full audit trail built in

Every invoice tracked from submission to payment. Status visible in real time. Compliant, reportable, and auditable from day one.
