ApprovalMax holds a 4.8-star rating across 600+ customer reviews on the Xero app store.

The Xero Global App Awards recognise outstanding technology partners who provide significant value to small businesses and accounting practices globally.

Konstantin Bredyuk, CEO, ApprovalMax: "Money doesn't leave a business at the payment. It leaves at the commitment – the purchase order raised, the supplier agreement, the contract signed off in a hurry. Finance often sees it weeks later, reconciling a decision rather than making one.

That's the problem we've spent ten years solving. Winning in the UK, our largest market, means a lot to us. The ambition hasn't changed: we want every finance team to have full control over their spend, from the moment a commitment is made. Today, 18,000 organisations on Xero rely on ApprovalMax, with 37 million approval decisions made in the last year – and we're nowhere near done.

Thanks to Xero, our customers and partners, and the whole ApprovalMax team. Let's keep building!"
