There are so many accounting, bookkeeping, and finance apps available today. So many. Where do you start?
- Almost all of them promise to solve your problems.
- Almost all of them use cloud-connected apps to make your life easier.
- And almost all of them give you a free trial to try before you buy.
But who has the time to test drive almost all of them, let alone put them together to create a system that just works?
Well, we did. We took the best ones for a spin, whittled down our shortlist, and assembled them into a smart and streamlined internal workflow. We’ve been using it for ages here at FF HQ, and now we’re letting you in on the secret.
It’s the bookkeeping system that’ll blow your mind, and we’re calling it The Fresh Approach.
What is The Fresh Approach?
The Fresh Approach is our combination of the four finest cloud accounting and finance platforms on the market today, designed to enhance efficiency, improve decision making, and get you closer to your numbers.
It’s made up of Receipt Bank, Xero, Chaser, and Float.
- Receipt Bank is there to supercharge your data capture. No more manual entry, no more paper. Simply snap a photo of your receipt or invoice with your smartphone and Receipt Bank does the rest. All of the important information is captured and sent to Xero.
- Xero becomes the financial system upon which your business is built. You’re able to access your numbers in real-time, from anywhere. Use the mobile app to get stuff done on-the-go; reconcile, send invoices, or create expense claims with just a few taps.
- Chaser handles your credit control, keeping your cash flow healthy and your bank balance happy. Automate the tedious task of chasing late-paying customers, without losing the personal touch.
- Finally, Float makes cash flow forecasting a breeze. Using actual figures pulled directly from Xero, you’ll have an up-to-date view of your cash flow situation as and when required.

What are the benefits?
There are so many benefits to having real-time, accurate figures at your fingertips. But if we had to boil them down into bullet points…
