Who Mayday is for

What Mayday does
Mayday covers two halves of month end.
Coordination. Managing month-end tasks, balance sheet reconciliations, ownership, review status, audit evidence and close progress tracking.
Automation. Automating workflows that usually live in spreadsheets, including intercompany reconciliations, intercompany recharges, cross-entity bank reconciliation, deferred revenue, prepayments, accruals and adjusting journals.
Mayday is particularly relevant to finance teams scaling on Xero or QuickBooks Online that need more automation, visibility and control without adopting a traditional ERP operating model.
