"Amazing experience better than any other software we've used"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

I really like Payhawk’s easy-to-use interface and the automations that take care of many manual tasks. Their customer support is excellent-someone’s always available to help. We recently migrated from Kloo, and it’s been a huge relief for our Avado Accounts team. Invoice processing has never felt easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

Receipt Sync Delays: Sometimes receipts emailed to Payhawk don’t sync instantly or get missed, leading to manual follow-ups.

Slow Support on Complex Issues: While basic queries are handled quickly, complex issues may take longer to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Transition, Reliable Financial Management & card platform"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

I use Payhawk for managing corporate credit cards, and I find the automation and tracking features make life much easier, saving us time. I appreciate that the support team is really attentive. I like how invoice payments are super easy to handle, and having an audit trail for everything from approvals through to payment keeps accountability in check. The platform works incredibly well 99% of the time, and it's easy to onboard users. I also value the flexibility with corporate card approvals to adjust credit limits on the go, ensuring our staff are always equipped to do their job. The initial setup was super easy as well, thanks to our rep James and the great implementation team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

We've had one outage in 2 years, and one platform error. The uptime is great, the issues have just come quite close together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Instant Transactions and Flexible Admin Customization"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

We really like that most transactions come through immediately, which allows for quicker processing. We also appreciate that the admin can build exports and customize what the end user sees, making it easier to tailor the experience to our needs.

Also, the implementation and support teams are top notch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

The only thing that isn’t my favorite is that the export doesn’t let me group transactions by employee. In our old system, we could group expenses by report, rather than having everything separated strictly by individual transactions within the export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Expense Management with Real-Time Visibility and Helpful Support"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

Payhawk has been a great expense management platform for us. Their customer support is quick and very helpful, and the platform is easy to use for submitting and tracking expenses. It also offers real‑time spend visibility, automated receipt capture, and AI‑powered coding, which saves a lot of manual work. Plus, their integration with accounting systems and the ability to add real‑time controls to existing corporate cards make it a strong all‑in‑one solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

Recently, I faced an integration issue between Payhawk and Xero, which caused my data not to sync properly. Because of this, I had to do the work twice, which was time‑consuming and frustrating. I hope Payhawk fixes this soon, as it affects daily tasks and slows down the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We especially value the native integration with our ERP system, as well as how straightforward the deployment and onboarding processes are. Additionally, the user experience stands out for being clean, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

The main aspect where Payhawk could enhance its offering is by introducing more advanced customization options for workflows and reporting.

I admire the user friendly interface, which makes it easy and intuitiev to navigate various tasks. The features that capture invoice information are valuable, providing automation and efficiency in handling expenses. I appreciate the flexibility offered in payment transfers globally, which is crucial feature. The ability to quickly process expenses reimbursement and use of cards ensures that our team members do not need to spend their own funds while travelling for work, making it the most utilised feature by our team. Additionally, the initial setup of Payhawk was quick, adding to the overall positive experience. I am inclined to recommend Payhawk to others for its effectiveness in our operations.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

The charges to make payments to a few countries are very high, and it would be beneficial if the burden of these charges could be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplify Expense Control Effectively"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

I use Payhawk to make and control corporate expenses. I like the efficiency of having virtual cards quickly and the control of expenses through its platform. Additionally, both the mobile app and the web are very intuitive and store all expense information in an organized manner. I also like that we can associate our projects with those expenses. Moreover, it was a great advancement for us that our accounting software Odoo could connect with Payhawk. The initial setup was very good, easy, and intuitive.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

I think the exchange rate could be made more visual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Expense Management with Ease"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

I appreciate Payhawk's configurability, especially the workflows and custom fields, which really stand out to me. I also like its user-friendly interface that caters to all users. The integration with QuickBooks Live and the ability to do push-integrations via CSV import from other key systems at setup, like HiBob for employee lists, is great. The process of getting set up for 80% of our use cases was incredibly easy, which was a huge advantage. Additionally, I value the vastly higher functionality and the linkage between the cards in use and the expense submission process compared to our previous software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

We're getting our heads around the purchase order documentation and getting it to add sufficient information into the PDF that's generated; the jury's currently out as to whether it meets our needs in this space. Also, getting that PDF created and sent to me in a helpful way could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Facilitated Expense and Export Management"
What do you like best about Payhawk?

I love the ease of Payhawk for organizing teams and exporting data, which significantly simplifies financial management in my company. The ability to issue cards helps guides pay for necessary services for the tour without complications. Payhawk effectively solves important problems related to organization and exporting to the accounting program, offering clear solutions to these challenges. The data export to Excel is particularly efficient and allows for a much smoother accounting expense import process compared to other options. Additionally, the initial setup was very simple; we just provided the necessary information and documentation and signed the contract. All of this makes me consider Payhawk an indispensable tool for our daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Payhawk?

Sometimes the transfer to the account takes a while to arrive, but it happens very rarely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
