AI-Powered Statement Reconciliation

Upload your monthly statements and let Approvaly do the matching. Line items are extracted automatically, matched to approved requests, and assembled into audit-ready reconciliation packages.

Corporate Credit Cards

Statement charges auto-matched to the right employee's purchase requests, recurring payments, and prepaid purchases — with strict card-to-employee attribution.

Amazon Business

Order IDs read from packing slips match entire orders at full confidence, with subtotal verification that prevents false matches.

Store Accounts

Store charge statements extracted and matched by exact amount to purchase requests, recurring payment schedules, and prepaid purchases.

Bank Statements

Checking and savings statements reconciled line-by-line against approved payments and disbursements — cleared items matched automatically, exceptions flagged for review.

  • Automatic matching to purchase requests, recurring payment schedules, and prepaid purchases — ambiguous charges surface as explicit exceptions instead of wrong matches
  • Rewards, cash back, and manual adjustments tracked per statement with automatic grand-total math
  • Manual expense transmittals — code unmatched charges, attach receipt backup, and route a structured PDF through approval
  • Consolidated package PDFs — statement, one-page summary, and every linked receipt in one file, with automatic duplicate-document removal
  • Statement archival to SharePoint with a unified archive view and admin-controlled restore
  • Three-way matching — purchase orders matched to receipts and invoices before any payment is approved

Multi-Tiered Approval Workflows

Approval Routing Logic

  • L1 Routing: Matches requester's assigned approver email
  • L2 Escalation: Triggered when amount exceeds L1 limit
  • Self-Approval Skip: Auto-escalates to L2 when requester is L1
  • Fallback Logic: Uses first active workflow if no match found

Budget Controls & Alerts

  • Department Limits: Real-time spending caps per department
  • Grant Tracking: Monitor spend against grant restrictions
  • Pre-Threshold Alerts: Warn before limits are reached
  • Exception Handling: Finance manager approval for overages

Account Code Allocation

Flexible account code allocation for any nonprofit chart of accounts—whether multi-segment codes, program/cost center codes, or grant-based allocations.

Supports any structure: Fund → Program → Department → Project or Custom segments
  • Simple Selection: Choose pre-configured account codes from dropdowns
  • Advanced Mapping: Manually select segments with validation and dependency filtering
  • Multi-Allocation: Split transactions across multiple accounts by percentage or dollar amount
  • Custom Codes: Support for any account code structure your system uses
  • Tax Handling: Automatic tax allocation across multiple accounts proportionally
