ApprovalMax has been named a finalist for Global Small Business App of the Year at the Xero Global App Awards 2026, recognising excellence and innovation within the Xero app ecosystem.
The Xero Global App Awards celebrate technology partners that deliver outstanding value to small businesses and accounting practices around the world. Being shortlisted in the Global Small Business App of the Year category places ApprovalMax among the best applications across the entire Xero ecosystem.
For us, this recognition is about the businesses behind the numbers:
- 18,000+ organisations run their approvals with ApprovalMax on Xero, across 100+ countries
- 37M+ approval decisions made on the platform in the last 12 months alone
- 4.8★ rating on the Xero App Store, built on hundreds of customer reviews
37M+
approval decisions made on ApprovalMax in the last 12 months
That's every bill, purchase order and invoice routed to the right approver before payment — not chased down over email.
ApprovalMax has been building on Xero for a decade, helping finance teams move approvals out of email threads and into structured, automated workflows — so every bill, purchase order and invoice is properly authorised before it reaches the ledger, with a full audit trail behind it.
"Being named a finalist on a global stage is a brilliant recognition of our team and, above all, of the finance teams and accounting practices who shape ApprovalMax every day. Ten years of building on Xero, and moments like this still feel just as exciting as day one."
