## **TL;DR:** Teams using Extend can now move faster from transaction to reconciliation with new updates that simplify expense workflows and deepen accounting connections. With these updates, you can: - Connect Extend to additional accounting systems including Xero, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - Categorize spend earlier so transactions are ready for reconciliation before they reach your ledger - Instantly return to common workflows using Saved Views - Capture additional transaction details reviewers need to evaluate expenses - Reduce manual expense management work as your organization scales As organizations grow, expense workflows become more complex. Transactions happen across multiple cards, projects, and departments, while finance teams still need clear visibility into spending and reliable data for reconciliation. Extend strengthens the connection between card spend and accounting workflows—helping teams capture the right expense information earlier, and prepare transactions for reconciliation before they reach the general ledger. Recent updates expand accounting integrations and improve how teams organize and review transactions inside Extend, helping finance teams move faster through everyday expense management workflows. Here’s what’s new. ## Return to transaction workflows faster with Saved Views Finance teams repeatedly return to the same transaction workflows every day—review transactions missing receipts, prepare expenses for reconciliation, or analyze spend by vendor, department, or cardholder. [**Saved Views allow users**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/articles/38836032262167-Saved-Views) to save the transaction page with their specific workflow filters and columns so teams can return to them instantly. **Business impact** Streamline reconciliation and keep expense data aligned with the accounting platform your finance team already uses. ## Connect Extend to more accounting systems Finance teams rely on their accounting system to maintain accurate records and complete reconciliation efficiently. When expense data lives in separate systems, teams often spend time exporting files, re-entering transactions, or cleaning up data during month-end close. Extend supports integrations with [**Xero**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/articles/38207069252247-Integrate-with-Xero), [**Sage Intacct**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/articles/38206986225047-Integrate-with-Sage-Intacct), and [**Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/articles/38207146818455-Integrate-with-Microsoft-Dynamics-Business-Central), expanding the accounting systems organizations can connect directly to the platform. These integrations join Extend’s existing support for [**QuickBooks Online**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/sections/28621862973463-QuickBooks-Online), [**QuickBooks Desktop**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/sections/36590495006743-QuickBooks-Desktop), and [**NetSuite**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/sections/28582056451735-NetSuite), giving finance teams more flexibility to connect Extend to the systems they already use. Once connected, Extend syncs accounting codes into the platform so teams can categorize transactions before sending them to the ledger. Finance teams review cleared transactions and push them to their accounting platform when they’re ready. By connecting spend workflows more closely with your accounting platform, Extend helps teams maintain cleaner financial data and run reconciliation with greater confidence.

Teams often need additional details—such as business purpose, attendees, a memo, or internal references—to properly review transactions and understand the reason behind a purchase. With [**additional fields for expense capture**](https://support.paywithextend.com/hc/en-us/articles/38091922537879-Additional-Fields-for-Expense-Capture), organizations can define the additional information employees need to include for a given expense. These fields appear directly on the transaction, allowing employees to add the important details while reviewing their spend. Approvers and finance teams can then see this context directly within the transaction when evaluating expenses. Capturing this information earlier reduces follow-ups for missing details and gives finance teams the information they need to review expenses more quickly and confidently. **Business impact** Improve expense reviews, strengthen policy compliance, and reduce back and forth by capturing important transaction context directly within Extend. ## Explore these updates These updates are designed to improve the everyday workflows finance teams rely on—organizing transactions, reviewing expenses, and preparing data for reconciliation.
