Better Bookkeeping Starts With Better-Organised Business Records.

Accounting professionals often depend on clients to provide clear and consistent information about the work their businesses perform. When quotes, job details and invoices are scattered across spreadsheets, messages and separate systems, assembling that information can become unnecessarily difficult.

Some of the challenges this can create:

  • Scattered information

    Job details and customer information are spread across different tools.

  • Unclear job records

    It can be difficult to trace the relationship between work requested, work completed and the resulting invoice.

  • Inconsistent documentation

    Information may arrive incomplete or require clarification before it can be used.

  • Manual follow-ups

    Business owners and their accounting teams may spend time requesting updates and missing details.

ManaGEM’s role

Connect the Work Behind the Numbers.

ManaGEM manages the operational workflow behind a business’s enquiries, quotes, jobs and invoices. By keeping relevant information organised within the business management process, it can support a more structured approach to preparing and sharing operational records.

  • 01

    Enquiries and customers

    Keep track of incoming work and the customer information associated with it.

  • 02

    Quotes and jobs

    Connect quotations to the jobs they relate to. An accepted quote becomes the job, on the same record.

  • 03

    Invoices and records

    Help businesses manage invoices within their operational workflow, from deposit to final payment.

  • 04

    Operational visibility

    Give teams a clearer view of the work being managed through ManaGEM.

How it works

Your Operational Workflow. Your Accounting Software. A Clearer Connection.

ManaGEM manages operational workflows, while accounting software supports the accounting processes performed by the business and its accounting professionals. Where the relevant integration is supported, the systems can work together as part of a more connected process.

  1. 1

    Manage the work in ManaGEM

    Enquiries, quotes, jobs and invoices are managed in ManaGEM, on one record per job.

    • Enquiries and customers
    • Quotes from the business’s own price list, with VAT
    • Jobs, bookings and progress
    • Invoices, payments and debtors
  2. 2

    Connect the relevant information

    Sage AccountingAvailable

    • Invoices raised in ManaGEM post to Sage Accounting with their net amount, VAT and total, and a Sage reference.
    • Each invoice shows its sync status (synced, pending or error) and when it last synced. The team can also run Sync now.
    • Products can be synced with Sage.

    XeroAvailable

    • Invoices raised in ManaGEM post to Xero with their net amount, VAT and total, and a Xero reference.
    • The same sync status, last sync time and Sync now action.
    • Products can be synced with Xero.

    Ask us how your client’s Sage or Xero setup connects before you start.

    Continue the accounting process

    The accountant or bookkeeper works with those invoices in Sage Accounting or Xero as they do today. The ledger, bank reconciliation, month end and tax stay in the accounting software.

    ManaGEM does not replace the accounting platform, and it does not handle bank feeds or financial statements.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

01Is ManaGEM accounting software?

No. ManaGEM focuses on business operations, including the management of enquiries, quotes, jobs and invoices. Its role is to support the operational workflow rather than replace dedicated accounting software.

02Can ManaGEM work with Sage or Xero?

Yes. ManaGEM syncs with Sage Accounting and Xero: invoices post with their net amount, VAT, total and a reference from the accounting software, and products can be synced. Ask us how your client’s setup connects. If a client uses another platform, talk to us.

03Does ManaGEM automatically synchronise invoices and transactions?

Invoices raised in ManaGEM post to Sage Accounting or Xero. Each invoice shows whether it has synced, is pending or has an error, and when it last synced, and the team can run Sync now from the Accounting Sync screen. ManaGEM does not sync bank transactions. How the sync is set up for a client is something we confirm with you.

04Will ManaGEM replace our bookkeeping software?

No. ManaGEM is intended to support business operations alongside the appropriate accounting tools. The ledger and the accounting work stay in the accounting platform.

05Is ManaGEM suitable for all my clients?

Not necessarily. Suitability depends on the client’s operational requirements, industry, workflow and existing software. It suits businesses that manage enquiries, quotes, jobs and invoices.

06Can I see how ManaGEM would work for one of my clients?

Yes. Book a demonstration and tell us about the client’s operational requirements, and we will walk you through it.
