Accounting and bookkeeping software
Bridge Finance: The books, double-entry and complete.
Invoices, bills, expense claims and bank reconciliation, with the ledger behind them, every financial report and an audit trail.
What is Bridge Finance?
Bridge Finance is the accounting product in BridgeME Cloud. It keeps your books in double entry: invoices, estimates, credit notes and payments; supplier bills, expense claims and payment runs; bank accounts, statement imports, feeds and reconciliation. Budgets, consolidation, the year-end close and every financial report sit on top, with an audit trail of every change.
Who it is for
- Service businesses that want invoicing and the books in one place
- Groups of companies, each keeping its own books in its own currency
- Finance teams that need reconciliation, period close and an audit trail
What Bridge Finance does
Invoices and payments
Raise estimates and invoices, record payments, apply customer credit and correct an issued invoice with a credit note. Customers can pay by card or PayPal.
Bills, claims and payment runs
Enter and approve supplier bills and expense claims, then pay several together from one bank account on one day.
Bank reconciliation
Import statements as CSV, OFX/QFX or CAMT.053, or connect a live feed, and reconcile with bank rules for repeating lines.
The ledger and the close
Chart of accounts, journals, fiscal periods, month-end close, revaluation of foreign balances and the year-end close.
Every financial report
Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, general ledger, ageing and budget against actual, with tax returns and consolidation.
Recurring invoices and reminders
Set up recurring invoices and journals, and switch on payment reminders for overdue invoices.
How Bridge Finance works with the rest of BridgeME
Every Bridge product reads the same clients, projects, tasks and people, behind one sign-in — so nothing is copied between tools.
- Bridge TimeInvoice unbilled work drafts an invoice from Bridge Time’s billable hours and expenses.
- Bridge CRMA customer is the company in Bridge CRM, and a won deal offers Create invoice here.
- Bridge HRMA closed pay run in Bridge HRM is posted as one payroll journal, so salaries reach the books without retyping.
- Bridge ProjectA project’s budget panel in Bridge Project reads what Finance has invoiced and spent on it.
Can I move my books from Xero or QuickBooks?
Yes. Bridge Finance takes your books from Xero, QuickBooks Online, FreshBooks, Zoho Books or a spreadsheet, and says what comes across from each.
Do I need a bank feed to reconcile?
No. Importing statement files works for every bank and reconciles the same way as a feed.
Can I keep the books for several companies?
Yes. Each company keeps its own books in its own currency, and a group can be consolidated. Money is never added across currencies.
Can I edit an invoice after issuing it?
No. An issued invoice is fixed so the books stay true. Raise a credit note, or void it and issue a new one.
Does Bridge Finance see my card or bank password?
No. Card payments happen on Stripe’s or PayPal’s own page, and you sign in to your bank on its own site, never here.
