Run payables, at any scale.

For finance teams at any stage · Works with DATEV, Exact Online and Twinfield
Two ways in, the same win.
Cortena streamlines your payables process wherever you are in your scale.
Save the external hours.
Cortena captures and codes every invoice in real time, so you get live visibility of your payables and cut the hours you pay an external bookkeeper for.
Cut 90% of the manual entry.
Cortena automates the whole payables flow. Your team spends its time on the 10% that matters and on higher-value work, not data entry.
Either way the result is the same: real savings, and payables that scale without adding headcount.
The same Monday, twice.
Twenty-three supplier invoices arrived over the weekend. Here is what happens to them without Cortena, and what happens with it.
Every PDF gets opened, keyed into the ledger and filed by hand. On a good Monday that is three hours. On a bad one it waits until Thursday.
All 23 were captured and coded on arrival. Two need a human decision. The other 21 are ready to approve in one pass.
Your team stops keying. It starts deciding.
Cortena leads with accounts payable, the work that eats a small team first. These are the tasks that move off your desk in the first month.
The chores that fill the week
Keying amounts, accounts and VAT by handChasing approvers over email and the coffee machineFiling PDFs into folders nobody can search
Cortena reads every invoice on arrival and books the data: amounts, supplier, GL account, cost centre and VAT per line. Approvals route themselves and remind the approver, so nobody in finance plays messenger. And because every document files itself against its entry, the shared-folder archaeology ends.

Review by exception, close ahead of plan
- A short review queue instead of a full inbox
- Approvals answered the day they are asked
- A close that starts days earlier, from clean books
Your team looks at the invoices that genuinely need judgement: a new supplier, an unusual amount, a missing reference. Everything else arrives coded, approved and documented, with a full trail behind every entry. Approvals clear during the month, so the close starts from a clean queue.
Every entry carries its own trail

from kickoff to live, on your accounts, your cost centres and your approval rules.
We are still three people in finance. The difference is that Monday is a review, not a data-entry shift. We closed March two days early and nobody stayed late for it.
Fair questions, straight answers.
No. Nothing posts without sign-off. You set the rules, Cortena prepares every entry against them, and your team approves before anything reaches the ledger. Every capture, code and approval is logged, so the audit trail is stronger than the one you keep by hand.
Most teams are live in 15 days without a project team. You connect the invoice inbox, confirm your chart of accounts, cost centres and approval rules, and review Cortena's coding side by side until you trust it. There is no data migration and your ledger stays where it is.
Yes. Cortena sends booking-ready entries into DATEV, Exact Online or Twinfield, with the source document attached to each one. Your accountant keeps their tool, their process and a cleaner input than before. Nothing about your setup has to change.
They wait in the review queue with the reason spelled out: a new supplier, an unusual amount, a missing reference. You decide, and Cortena applies that decision the next time. In practice that is around one invoice in ten.
