Accounts payable services for nonprofits

At Xtreme Productivity, we specialise in helping nonprofits streamline their accounts payable processes using ApprovalMax. Whether you're a small charity or a large NGO, we tailor our approach to suit your organisation's size, structure, and financial compliance needs. 

ApprovalMax automates approval workflows, reduces manual errors, and improves financial transparency. We help you implement it effectively and integrate it with your existing accounting software, such as Xero. 

We don’t just recommend ApprovalMax, we use it ourselves. “We always use the products we sell, including ApprovalMax.” Sonja Binks, General Manager of Finance Solutions, explains that XP adopted ApprovalMax after finding that other tools like Receipt Bank and Xero Expenses lacked a comprehensive approval matrix. That functionality was essential for managing approvals across a geographically dispersed team. 

Using the right accounts payable software doesn’t just save time; it supports audit preparation, strengthens internal controls, and helps prevent fraud.

Smarter accounts payable for nonprofits

Nonprofits often turn to ApprovalMax because they are being slowed down by manual approvals, which are hard to track and prone to error. Nonprofits with distributed teams and strict audit requirements often need good accounts payable software.  

ApprovalMax automates nonprofit accounts payable workflows, helping them: 

  • Save time with batch payment approvals 
  • Track who approved what, and when 
  • Reconcile cash deposits with full transparency 
  • Enable board-level approvals outside your finance system 
  • Prepare for audits with a secure, immutable record of every transaction 

 

XP helps you implement ApprovalMax based on your structure, budget, and compliance needs, so you get the most out of your accounts payable software.

We tailor our services to your budget.  

 

We know how tight nonprofit overheads can be, so we aim to minimise costs while maximising impact. 

How do we do this? Our services are flexible. We offer ongoing support, working alongside your team long-term. Or, if you prefer, we can handle implementation only. This means setting up the system, training your staff, and handing it over for you to manage independently. 

With most clients, we build a digital transformation roadmap. This guides your organisation from its current state to your desired future, often over several years.

 

Our focus areas in financial transformation:

  • Going paperless
  • Improving financial accountability
  • Boosting operational efficiency
  • Reducing costs tied to outdated systems

Real results with XP & ApprovalMax 

Audit time slashed: 

Audits used to take 4–5 months. With XP and ApprovalMax, it’s done in just six weeks. 

Major time savings: 

One client saved the equivalent of a full-time staff member’s workload. Another reduced manual processing by 47 hours per week. That’s over 2,400 hours per year (or more than 1 FTE)! Now, their team spends that time on what matters most. 

Better visibility & control: 

“Before XP, approvals were handled by email and stamp documents. Now, CEOs have full visibility, and audit trails are secure. ApprovalMax cleaned up our processes and made everything visual.” 

Reduced risk: 

ApprovalMax eliminated high-risk practices like single-person approvals. Now, every transaction has dual oversight and a clear audit trail.
