AP Automation for Charities & Not for Profit

AP Automation for Charities & Not for Profit

Accountability and approval behind every purchase

When every pound comes from donations or government funding, every purchase must be justified. Zahara gives charities an audit trail behind every invoice, departmental budgeting tools and automated invoice processing — so a small finance team can do the work of a much larger one.

Charities AP automation

Everything your Charities team needs in one place

Invoice Processing

OCR reads and extracts invoice data automatically — no manual keying, no errors.

Approval Workflows

Multi-step approvals by value, department or supplier — via email, browser or mobile.

Purchase Orders

Raise POs from any device, match to invoices and receipts, post to your finance system.

Budget Control

Live budget vs committed spend — alerts before overspend happens, not after.

Mobile Approvals

Approve or reject from anywhere — push notifications, no app download required.

ERP Integration

Full two-way sync with Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QBO, Business Central and MYOB.
