The platform
Everything Finio does, on one page.
Organised the way the work actually runs, from the invoice arriving to the month closing. Nothing here is a plan: if an entry isn't marked as coming, it works today.
Before stage 01
Setup.
Automated setup
Connect Xero and send your first invoice. Finio reads your chart of accounts and supplier records itself — no supplier mapping, no rules session, no go-live date.
Read more →There is no step three
Setup cost is what decides whether AP automation is worth attempting across a group at all. Removing it is the first feature, not a nicety — a new site or a new entity starts the same day.
Stage 01
Capture.
Email & upload
Suppliers email invoices straight in; finance uploads anything that arrives another way. Every document lands in the workflow the moment it exists.
Photo capture on site
Whoever takes the delivery photographs the note where they stand — a manager, a supervisor, anyone on site. Read, coded and matched in real time, with no Xero licence and no training.

Line-level coding.
Line-level coding
Every line is read and coded to the right account, and every code comes with its reason written down — why the gloves went to consumables, why the blue roll didn’t. Nobody else shows the working.
Read more →Cost tracking for operations
Site managers see their own spend by day, week and month — per supplier, per category. They enter their sales and watch their GP live, while the month is still running.
Read more →Stage 03
Matching & credit notes.
Purchase orders
Record an order in seconds from the supplier's own price list, and the invoice matches itself against everything still owed on that supplier — not one order at a time. Price and quantity exact; matched lines arrive already coded.
Read more →Two-sided matching
Finance holds the supplier's invoice. The site uploads whatever they have — the order, the delivery note, or their own copy of the invoice — and Finio matches the two in real time, flagging every difference. No purchase order required — and if you do raise one, it matches against that too.
Read more →Credit notes
Short deliveries and rejections are tracked from the day they happen, so the credits you're owed get chased while they're still worth chasing — not written off at month-end.
Read more →Stage 04
Statement reconciliation.
Line by line, in real time
Supplier statements are matched line by line against your live Xero ledger as they arrive: missing invoices, duplicates, unapplied credits, and amounts that agree on the reference but not the value.
Read more →Statement reconciliation
2 days → 1–2 hrs
Start of month, measured in a sandbox entity at live volume
Stage 05
Xero sync.
Real time, two-way
Bills and journals post to Xero as they're approved. Changes in Xero flow back. Xero stays the source of truth — your accountant's view never moves.
Nothing imported, nothing exported
No CSV round-trips at setup or at month-end. The connection is the official Xero API, granted by you and revocable by you from inside Xero at any time.
Stage 06
Month-end.
The stage the rest of the category stops before.
Payment tracker
Where every payment stands — due, scheduled, paid — across the group, on one screen, so the finance team runs month-end payments without a spreadsheet. Finio tracks; your bank pays.
Read more →Cross-charges
Someone in company A raises the charge the moment it happens — a goods transfer, a shared cost. Company B approves it, and the journal posts into both companies' Xero files automatically.
Read more →Departmental transfers
The same raise-and-approve loop inside one company: costs moved between sites and departments in real time, with an approval behind every move.
Read more →The accounting half of month-end is being built now. It stays on this list marked as coming — and moves up the moment it ships, not before.
Prepayments
Schedules built, released and posted on time.
Fixed assets & depreciation
The register and the runs, maintained.
Accruals
Raised and reversed on schedule.
Control account reconciliations
Suspense, VAT and clearing kept clean.
