For CFOs

Procurement software for CFOs

See cash before the invoices land, and control spend before it's committed.

You own cash, forecasting and a finance team that scales without linear headcount. After-the-fact spend hurts all three. ProcureDesk approves and codes every dollar before a vendor is contacted, so your forecast reflects committed spend, not last month's surprises.

The problem

Three ways after-the-fact finance costs you

When finance is the last to know, it shows up in cash, in headcount, and in control.

Company scale →
At the request
Trigger: forecasts run on last month's data
  • Cash position is a guess until invoices land
  • Committed spend is invisible to the forecast
  • No early signal when a department runs hot
  • Board updates rely on backward-looking numbers
At the approval
Trigger: volume grows faster than the team
  • AP headcount climbs with transaction volume
  • Manual matching caps how much the team can process
  • Every new entity adds reconciliation load
  • Growth makes the process slower, not faster
At the invoice
Trigger: spend is controlled in the rearview
  • Invoices arrive with no approval context
  • No audit trail across entities and projects
  • Policy exists on paper, not in the workflow
  • Surprises hit the P&L after the money is gone
How it works

How spend should actually flow

Front-end controls stop problems before they happen. Back-end automation closes the books fast.

Front-end controls: before the PO
1
Request
From a punchout catalog, in under 2 minutes.
2
Budget check
Live check before routing. No budget, auto-hold.
3
Approval routing
Routes by amount, department and cost center.
4
PO issued
Numbered PO to the vendor, GL-coded at request.
Delivery
Back-end automation: after delivery
5
Goods receipt
Receiving confirms delivery against the PO.
6
3-way match
PO, receipt and invoice matched automatically. Exceptions flagged.
7
Payment
Finance reviews exceptions only, then pays.
8
Sync & close
Coded entries sync to your ERP in real time. Close in days, not weeks.
Result: 90% fewer surprise invoices. Every dollar is committed before it's spent.
Result: 3-way match takes the manual work out of AP. Books close in days, not weeks.

Questions

Proactive finance, answered

How does this improve cash forecasting?

Because spend is approved and committed before a vendor is contacted, committed spend is visible weeks before invoices land. Your forecast reflects what's actually been committed, not last month's surprises.

Can we scale AP without adding headcount?

Yes. Automated approvals and 3-way matching let the same team handle several times the volume, so AP work stops growing in lockstep with transaction count.

Does it sync to our accounting system?

Yes. Native two-way sync with NetSuite, QuickBooks (incl. Desktop and Enterprise), Sage Intacct, Xero and Microsoft Business Central, and you keep procurement when you move ERPs as you scale.

How does it control spend across multiple entities?

Entity, project and GL coding is captured at the point of request, so multi-entity spend is allocated correctly from day one instead of reconciled at month-end.

Is it built for a company our size?

Yes. It's built for mid-market finance orgs where the CFO needs control and forecast accuracy without a bigger team. Fully set up for you, live in 2 to 4 weeks.
