Xelix, who offer the world’s first account payable control centre, has announced an exclusive partnership with leading audit services company, Profectus.

He said: “This solution’s real-time analysis of transactions means the audit side is no longer as intensive and it ensures that we can deliver the same level of analysis and expertise normally reserved for big businesses to SMEs, which to date have been underserved on this front.”
Paul Roiter, CEO and Co-founder of Xelix, also expressed delight to be partnering with a firm that is well established in the region.
He said: “Profectus has a great reputation of working closely with its clients as a compliance and recovery insider, almost an extension of the finance and AP teams for many businesses across ANZ.

“It made perfect sense to partner with them and help their clients and future ones of all sizes to avail of a world-leading technology that will help Profectus focus on key compliance issues that their expertise is best-positioned to deliver. Our agreement ensures SMEs as well as large-scale enterprises can now make the most of our complimentary expertise” Mr Roiter added.
