01

Open Items Reconciliation & Follow-up

Stop checking every transaction. Focus on the exceptions.

The challenge

Organizations receiving recurring customer payments need to reconcile open items against incoming bank transactions. Missing references, partial payments, overpayments and unpaid balances turn a simple reconciliation into hours of manual investigation and follow-up.

How it works

Import Open Items

Customer amount, due date, payment reference

Import Bank Transactions

Incoming payments are captured and prepared for matching

Automatic Matching

Transactions are matched using rules and defined logic

Classify the Result

Matched / Underpaid / Overpaid / Unmatched

Automated Follow-up

Payment reminders and balance notifications

Review Exceptions

Only exceptions requiring investigation

Donor Timesheet & Staff Cost Reporting

From payroll and time allocation data to donor-ready supporting documentation.

The challenge

Donor reporting requires project-specific staff documentation. Each donor should receive only the time and costs related to their project, together with a clear breakdown of the employee's monthly salary and the amount charged to the donor.

How it works

Import Payroll Data

Monthly salary and relevant cost components

Apply Project Allocation

Identify the employee's time and cost attributable to each project

Generate Project-Specific Timesheet

A separate timesheet for each project, showing activities and hours relevant to that donor

Calculate Staff Cost

Monthly salary breakdown and the amount charged to the specific project/donor

Send for Signature

Automatically send the timesheet to the employee for electronic signature

Store & Track

Save in Project > Year > Month > Employee folder and track missing submissions

Donor-Ready Documentation

Timesheet, salary breakdown, staff cost charged, reporting period, audit trail

Staff Cost Allocation to Projects

Accurate, transparent and audit-ready cost allocation.

The challenge

Allocating staff costs to multiple projects and funds is complex and time-consuming, especially when based on timesheets, allocation percentages and payroll data. Manual processes increase the risk of errors and inconsistencies, affecting donor reporting and financial oversight.

How it works

Import Payroll Data

Employee salary and employer costs

Import Allocation Data

Timesheets or allocation percentages per project

Automatic Calculations

Allocate staff costs based on defined rules and logic

Validation & Exceptions

Check for inconsistencies and flag exceptions for review

Project-Level Reporting

Generate detailed reports by project, fund and cost category
