The coronavirus pandemic accelerated demand for automated expenses management and data capture during 2020 as it became less practical to rely on manual bookkeeping processes when everyone was working from home. While accountants across the board are focused on many other emergencies, the benefits of seamless financial data integration are becoming much more obvious.

Within the expenses and data management app category, some of that integration has been going on within the big accounting software houses that now have their own data capture tools. These developers now dominate the 2020 shortlist, but Receipt Bank and Clear Books continue to fly the independent flag. The full 2020 shortlist includes:

  • AutoEntry

  • Clear Books

  • FreeAgent Mobile

  • Receipt Bank

  • Xero Expenses

Xero's win in 2019, came as a surpise after it had only launched the year before. The award symbolised how expense and receipt capture were becoming core accounting platform functionality. Shortly after last year's Data and Expense Management Software of the Year Award was announced, Sage acquired AutoEntry.

Can Xero Expenses snap up the prize for pre-accounting processes for the second year running? Or is it time for one of the other developers to take home the award?

Come back on Tuesday, 1 December 2020 to find out who prevails when we announce the winner of this year's Data and Expense Management Software of the Year Award.
