What Our Clients Are Saying
"Stavtar saved us north of $1 million for sure. It's a no-brainer - this is such a low-hanging fruit for any firm of our type in terms of what Stavtar brings to the table."
"With Stavtar, we've actually been able to reduce our accounting team that focuses on accounts payable by 4."
"Before Stavtar, our expense allocation workflow was managed in Excel. The volume of invoices we received on an annualized basis is measured in the thousands. In the past, we threw bodies at the problem."
"Our accounting department was just trying to keep their head above water not to drown because we didn't have an automated process. Stavtar enabled us to streamline our operations and ensured that we were no longer upsetting our vendors by being late on our payments. Our allocation process is now robust and well-documented."
"With Stavtar, we're able to handle expenses in a more effective and more immediate fashion. It doesn't take the same amount of people internally to complete a request."
"What we really liked about Stavtar is the fact that it's a SaaS solution that is highly customizable. The workflows can be designed for each one of our vendors."
"Historically, we would have situations where Bloomberg terminals were cut off because we didn't pay Bloomberg on time. We don't have a reputation in the industry of being a company that doesn't pay bills on time. It just becomes really challenging. With Stavtar, we'e no longer in violation of our payment terms."
"The allocation part is very sensitive because the SEC focuses on expense allocation; can you back up your expense decompositions? With Stavtar, I can produce that."
Stavpay Modules
ACCRUAL MODULE
Allows you to manage your accruals (create, allocate, and book your entries automatically). The system will apply payments against the accruals, and book releasing entries. You will also be able to monitor them with robust reporting.
BUDGET MODULE
This module allows you to create multiple-layer budgets (Expense Type, Vendor, Legal Entity, for example), and then the system automatically applies payments according to the budget codes, giving you real-time budget-to-actual reporting via static reports or dynamic dashboards with drill-down capabilities.
LEGAL MODULE
This module fully automates the input of each line item of the invoice and adds the desired allocation method giving your legal team an interface to review them. There, they can review and/or change expense types, allocation methods directly into the system. When they are happy they hit submit for processing, and it moves to the appropriate workflow for processing and approval.
CHARGE BACK MODULE
Automates the inter-entity reimbursement process. As you allocate and pay your invoices in StavPay, you may have some entities pay on behalf of others. The Charge Back Module tracks due to/from between your entities and with a touch of a button, allows you to invoice your internal entities, adds support for review, and puts them into the appropriate approval workflow for approval.
SERVICES MODULE
Allows you to manage vendors that provide you multiple layers of services, like market data.
You can inventory all of the different services sold, track its usage internally, and build allocations from this information.
1099 MODULE
A comprehensive platform that manages the process of generating, reviewing, e-filing, and delivering 1099s for your vendors, all within StavPay.
