How to work with accountants to grow your payments app

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your numbers, worked out
  1. Type in your own numbers
  2. The tool works it out
  3. See the answer clearly

Small business owners often ask their accountant or bookkeeper which tools to use. One accountant who trusts your payments app can introduce you to dozens of businesses.

Make their job easier

Accountants care about clean records. Show them how your app helps:

  • Clear statements that are easy to download.
  • Every fee shown on each payment.
  • Payments matched to invoices so nothing goes missing.

Start local

Visit a few local accountants and bookkeepers, explain who your app is for and ask what their clients struggle with when getting paid.
