Through integrations initially with U.S.-based check processing and banking system integration software company SunGard and U.K.-based electronic payment software maker Albany Software, FinancialForce Accounting users will have one system for managing customer accounts and making and receiving payments.

“These integrations are designed to make life even easier for our users and are part of a strategy that will see us extending the payment options available to our customers,” said FinancialForce president and chief executive Jeremy Roche. “Through a fully integrated system like this, our customers can manage payments in a secure service environment without any risk. It also means that they can encourage their customers to pay invoices quicker so they will have better cash flow and budget control.”

FinancialForce.com has also added PayPal integration to its offering for users that choose to e-mail invoices to customers, providing the option to pay an invoice online immediately and securely via PayPal.
