Feature · Approvals

Approval rules the way your group works.

Multi-tier, multi-entity, mobile-first. Build the matrix once; Finio routes every invoice to the right approver — with auto-escalation if idle, and an immutable audit trail behind every decision.

Rules

Every dimension you use.

By amount

Different thresholds per role. GMs to £500, FCs to £5k, FDs unlimited.

By entity

One rule per site, or grouped by brand, region or ownership structure.

By category

Capex to CFO. R&M to Ops Director. Food to head chef.

By supplier

Trusted suppliers auto-approve within threshold. New suppliers always human-reviewed.

Multi-level

Sequential, parallel, conditional.

Sequential

GM → FC → FD

Each approver in turn. Reject at any point returns to the previous stage with a note.

Parallel

Ops + Finance

Both must approve. Common for capex or supplier changes.

Conditional

If X then Y

Over £10k? Also needs CFO. New supplier? Compliance check first.

Audit trail

Immutable, exportable, trusted.
