London, UK, 25 November 2020: KashFlow, by IRIS Software Group, is today announcing it is working with leading enterprise connectivity platform Yapily. The partnership will enable KashFlow customers to gain real-time insight into their cash flow and provide them with a frictionless end-to-end bookkeeping service.
Running a small business is complicated, even before adding the effects of Covid-19 and Brexit into the mix. Business leaders need to be more flexible and adaptable than ever before. Not only enabling their staff to work flexibly, but also in terms of ensuring the critical, but often mundane, aspects of running a business are properly managed during these difficult times. The time for manual bookkeeping processes has gone.
Through partnering with Yapily, KashFlow customers can connect and extract account information all from within the KashFlow portal - providing them with one single source of truth about their business’ financial health. This removes the friction and inefficiencies involved with manual bookkeeping and provides customers with the insight they need to move forward with confidence into the year ahead.
Typically, bookkeeping has been a manual, tedious, but essential, task for business owners. The integration of Yapily’s open banking API enables KashFlow to improve its SME customers’ experience by removing the friction, which speeds up critical processes such as invoicing, reconciliation and payroll. With these critical, but historically complicated, tasks taken care of, business owners are free to focus on what they do best - growing their business.
JF Sullivan, Chief Product Officer for IRIS Software Group says, “By partnering with Yapily, our customers now have a far more efficient and secure way to manage their cash flow - which is of utmost importance in this current landscape of uncertainty.
“Yapily’s core infrastructure means KashFlow customers can now control their controllables with ease. Getting a single source of truth about their financial health so they know best how to prepare for what’s ahead. They can now move forward with confidence - and thrive - in the next normal.”
Stefano Vaccino, Chief Executive Officer for Yapily says, “Leveraging our technical expertise, we’ve been able to provide KashFlow’s customers - a large number of which are SMEs, critical to the UK economy’s recovery - with a better customer experience and crucial insight into their financial positions. Something that is needed now more than ever with the UK in a second national lockdown.
“Through partnering with KashFlow, we’re continuing our mission to expand the reach of open banking and bring its benefits to all small businesses. We believe open banking enables fairer and better financial services for everyone. We look forward to developing our partnership with KashFlow and IRIS Software Group to fuel greater financial accessibility for their customers.”
