What is Payhawk?
Payhawk keeps widening ERP exports and adds travel policy checks against market rates.
Payhawk is adding finance controls and ERP depth in small, frequent releases. Late September and early October brought native NetSuite credit card charges, QuickBooks Online card expenses, a Rillet ledger sync, PO duplication and Swiss QR-bill payments from CHF accounts. Through October it added tax-rate visibility limits, document-type field rules, a navigation redesign, travel policy checks against market rates and self-serve audit confirmation letters.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome's fall releases give firm owners a view of every job, and proposals a deadline.
TaxDome's October releases are about firm-wide visibility and tidier records. Owners can group jobs across pipelines, Work Forecaster flags overdue and at-risk jobs, proposals can expire after 1 to 90 days, and email threads can be linked to jobs for every firm. Cleanup banners ask firms to close finished jobs after tax season.

Payhawk
5.0FINANCE
Payhawk keeps widening ERP exports and adds travel policy checks against market rates.
◆ Current state
Payhawk is adding finance controls and ERP depth in small, frequent releases. Late September and early October brought native NetSuite credit card charges, QuickBooks Online card expenses, a Rillet ledger sync, PO duplication and Swiss QR-bill payments from CHF accounts. Through October it added tax-rate visibility limits, document-type field rules, a navigation redesign, travel policy checks against market rates and self-serve audit confirmation letters.
◆ Where it's heading
Payhawk is deepening accounting integrations and local payment rails while tightening controls on what employees see and spend. Travel booking now carries the same policy logic as cards and expenses.
◆ Prediction
Expect more native ERP export modes and country-specific payment methods; whether the new travel policy controls extend to automatic approvals is unclear.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome's fall releases give firm owners a view of every job, and proposals a deadline.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's October releases are about firm-wide visibility and tidier records. Owners can group jobs across pipelines, Work Forecaster flags overdue and at-risk jobs, proposals can expire after 1 to 90 days, and email threads can be linked to jobs for every firm. Cleanup banners ask firms to close finished jobs after tax season.
◆ Where it's heading
After the March AI document matching, the product has turned to the managing partner's view: how much work is in flight, what is late, and where client emails and proposals sit. The work is incremental and aimed at firms running many pipelines. A November 4 webinar on AI for the 2027 tax season hints at the next AI release.
◆ Prediction
Expect an AI announcement at or after the November 4 webinar, which TaxDome itself teased. The entries do not say what it covers.
