Does Payfriend replace my bookkeeper?

No — most keep their bookkeeper. Payfriend removes the manual work so you use the bookkeeper for what needs a human.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

No — that’s not the goal. Most companies keep their bookkeeper or accountant.

Payfriend automates the manual work: documents that need to come in, repeated coding, bank that must reconcile, bills that need paying. Your bookkeeper can spend time on judgment work — VAT, accruals, year-end, advice — instead of typing.

A bit more detail

  • You can invite your bookkeeper as a user on your Payfriend account (see Users and roles).

  • Automation only books when it’s confident enough (and typically when the bank matches). You approve the rest.

  • Payfriend does not replace statutory bookkeeping or your auditor — it’s day-to-day help on top of your accounting system.
