"I love Gappify for its ability to put the month-end accrual process on autopilot. It reinforces the best practices around the procure-to-pay cycle, influencing good behavior and engagement with outside vendors and internal business partners. This helps support a very smooth accrual process and month-end close."

"The implementation was seamless and required minimal lift from the Puma team. It was a one-time setup, and we haven't touched it since; instead, our accruals continue running automatically."

“In an era of new business models and changing accounting standards, accounting professionals need automation so that they can deliver fast, correct and smooth close processes. Gappify equips finance staff to keep pace with the speed of business, and enable finance transformation in an era of increasing complexity."

“Gappify is a cornerstone of our close management tech stack. They are pioneers in automated vendor accruals (which they execute perfectly!) and continue to add value through their innovative new features, including PO compliance monitoring and vendor spend insights."
