Everything between a request and a ready-to-send invoice.

01

One group. Every company.

Several companies in one workspace. Separate sites and Xero draft inboxes, with a company filter for group oversight.

02

03

The right approver

Pick an approver from a searchable list. Approve or reject with one click and add decision comments.

04

A proper finance check

Compare the invoice with the approved amount. Record verification, accept a variance with notes or send it for re-approval.

05

The complete paper trail

Attach multiple quotes, invoices and supporting evidence. Keep the documents with the request they belong to.

06

Organised around your sites

Sites belong to their company. Users can add suppliers and categories to keep everyday requests organised.

07

No more chasing updates

Approval request, decision and workflow emails keep people informed, with direct links back to the request.

08

Every action accounted for

See who submitted, approved, uploaded, verified and sent each item. Search the smart audit log and export CSV.

Your workspace, your identity

Use your own logo and accent colour. Choose a workspace default currency and a different currency per request.

10

Admin without the friction

Manage users, reset passwords, assign companies, organise sites, categories and suppliers, and configure integrations.

11

Clear roles. Private data.

Tenant admins, finance, approvers and requesters have defined access. Requesters see their assigned companies; reviewers have group oversight.

12

An invoice that reaches Xero

Finance sends the invoice PDF to the company's nominated Xero draft inbox. Each company has its own auto-send setting.

The Xero handoff

The right invoice. The right company. The right inbox.

Each company has a nominated Xero draft inbox and an auto-send switch. Finance checks the invoice, then the email handoff includes the PDF, not just a status update.

Verified invoice

PDF attachment + request details

Company A: its own draft inbox
Company B: its own draft inbox
Company C: its own draft inbox

Email-based handoff, no shared Xero account. Each company must allow bills@approve-it.online as a sender in its Xero draft inbox.

Security and compliance

Private by design. Accountable in practice.

Workspace isolation, role-based access and private encrypted files support your organisation's financial controls.

Isolated workspaces

Access is checked against your workspace and company permissions. Private attachments use authorised, short-lived links.

A smart audit record

Who did what, when, with decision and variance notes. Search the audit log and download CSV records.

Privacy Centre and DPA

Users can export their data and request deletion. Redacted audit records retain financial context. A DPA documents processing responsibilities.

Simple, company-based pricing

One price. Room for the whole team.

One workspace can hold several companies. Each company has its own sites and Xero inbox, with no per-user or per-site charge.

A few useful answers

Before you bring your team on board.

How does pre-approval work?

Raise a pre-invoice request with the quote and estimated cost. Your approver decides first. The requester or finance uploads the invoice later, then finance checks it before the Xero handoff.

What if we already have an invoice?

Choose Invoice approval and attach it upfront. The chosen approver reviews it, then finance checks the invoice before sending it to Xero.

What happens if the invoice amount changes?

A difference from the approved amount is flagged. Finance can accept the variance with notes or send it back for re-approval, keeping the decision in the activity trail.

Does each company have its own Xero connection?

The handoff uses email, not a shared Xero account connection. Each company nominates its own Xero draft inbox and can enable auto-send. Invoice PDFs are attached. Add bills@approve-it.online to that inbox's allowed senders.

Who can see our requests?

Workspaces are isolated. Requesters can see requests in their assigned companies. Approvers, finance and tenant admins can see their workspace's companies and filter by company. Self-approval is blocked.

Do everyone’s email addresses need the same domain?

No. Tenant admins can add people with different email domains, including group finance colleagues and external advisers.

Can I sign up myself?

No. Approve It is invite-only. Send an enquiry below and Growth Core sets up your workspace. Your tenant admin adds your users.

What does £80 include?

£80 per company per month includes unlimited users and sites, the approval workflow, finance checks, attachments, notifications, branding, audit exports and Privacy Centre controls.

Can users export or delete their personal data?

Yes. The Privacy Centre provides data export and deletion. A redacted audit trail preserves the workspace's financial record. Read our Privacy Policy and DPA for the full details.
