## About ApprovalMax
ApprovalMax is AP approval software for finance teams using QuickBooks Online, Xero, and NetSuite. Trusted by 20,000+ businesses around the world, it sits between your accounting platform and every outgoing payment, making sure nothing moves without the right sign-off, at the right level, with the right documentation attached. Finance teams that outgrow email-based approvals use ApprovalMax to automate the entire approval process – from bills and purchase orders to expenses, credit notes, and batch payments. Approval workflows route automatically based on rules you define. Approvers act from any device. And every decision generates a permanent, time-stamped record without anyone having to compile it. What ApprovalMax does - Routes invoices and purchase orders to the correct approvers automatically, based on vendor, amount, department, or any combination of your own policies - Flags duplicate invoices, alerts finance teams when vendor bank details change, and enforces coding rules at the point of approval – before money moves - Shows live budget impact to approvers at the moment of decision, so overspend is prevented rather than explained after the fact - Generates an immutable audit trail for every approval: who approved, what they reviewed, and when each step occurred - Scales from simple single-step workflows to multi-tiered, multi-entity approval chains – without requiring approvers to hold licenses in your accounting platform Who uses it ApprovalMax is used by in-house finance teams, controllers, CFOs, and the accountants and bookkeepers who support them. It's designed for businesses that need structured, enforceable approval controls – and that can't afford to find out what slipped through after the fact. For finance teams, it removes the manual chase and replaces it with workflows that run in the background. For finance leaders, it provides governance they can demonstrate to auditors, boards, and investors on demand. For accountants, it's a single platform that works across every client.
