Richard Sykes of Cloud CFO turned payments as a service into a revenue stream using Apron. 🤑

His firm’s payments are more efficient, more secure, and he’s already onboarded half of his entire client base. Richard said: 👇

"Apron has taken away the headaches that come with supplier payments, and allowed us to run a streamlined, error-free, and awesome accounts payable service for our clients.”

From eliminating manual data entry, to opening up international payment options, and increasing fees, read our latest case study to learn more about Cloud CFO’s transformation, and how Apron can help your firm. ✌

Payments are a complex business. We recently received the following request from a user: 👇

☝ “Roles within Apron should be singular. For insurance purposes, a Creator should only be allowed to create a payment. An Approver should be allowed to approve. The only person with access to everything should be the Administrator.”

This led us to the creation of Custom Roles, a feature that Apron users can implement for specific purposes and complex workflows. 🤗

When you only want to grant certain privileges to involved parties, Custom Roles are the way to go. 😎

It’s just one more step in making Apron the most user-friendly, efficient, and flexible payments platform on the planet. 🌍

Without the right tools, accountants, bookkeepers, and their clients are sitting ducks for invoice and payment fraud.🦆

Don’t believe us? Earlier this year, the BBC reported on two men from Stoke-on-Trent, who used invoice fraud to steal over £1 million from a family business. 😥

For financial professionals offering payments as a service, there are too many security potholes in the process. 😣

Because, be honest, would you notice a single digit out of place in an account number on an invoice? If not, that payment could end up in the hands of some nasty people.

We say, enough is enough. Read our latest blog post for more on how we’re changing the payments process to better protect you, and your clients. 🙌

Just attended a fantastic webinar with Debbie Dreyfuss from Apron and Lara Manton MICB, demonstrating the features and usability of the Apron app. Apron will enable bookkeepers to better assist their clients by offering an accounts payable service, alleviating the pressure on clients. With Apron, bookkeepers can efficiently set up supplier payments for client approval.

I will definitely be looking into offering this as an additional service to my clients!

The fees charged by domestic banks for you to send international client payments are the literal definition of a waste of money. 😥

Seriously, these places want to charge 2-3% per payment. 🤡

How do you overcome this problem? By opening a dedicated international payments account, of course.

But wait… Now you need to manage yet another bank account for the same client. Great, now we’ve added complexity to our waste of time. 

In our latest blog post, we explain how with Apron you’ll never have to:

😍 Open another separate international payments account again
💸 Worry about clients amassing thousands in unnecessary fees
😣 Deal with complicated foreign compliance regulations
🥱 Manually reconcile payments in Xero and QuickBooks
