It’s tempting to think of accounting software as a solved problem. We’ve had decades of digital tools. From spreadsheets to cloud platforms, we’ve come a long way. But for many professional services companies and charities, the day-to-day reality still involves workarounds, disjointed systems and spreadsheets on the side.

Traditional accounting software was built to support statutory reporting and compliance—not real-world management. That’s fine for ticking boxes, but it’s not enough for managing modern organisations.

Working Better, the Aedon Way

At Aedon, we believe finance software should support better ways of working, not just faster bookkeeping. Our platform is built to help organisations operate more effectively—especially those running complex services, with projects, teams, and multiple funding streams to manage.

Here’s how we do it.

Multi-Dimensional Reporting

You need to understand your numbers from every angle—by department, project, funding source, or geography. Aedon lets you tag and slice data however you need, giving you clarity without the spreadsheet gymnastics.

Integrated Budgeting & Planning

Budgets aren’t something you set and forget. With Aedon, budgeting is part of your operational workflow. You can update forecasts, model scenarios, and track performance against plan in real time.

Bottom-Up Reporting

Real control starts at the coalface. Our tools support reporting by team, individual, or task—putting financial awareness into the hands of the people doing the work, not just the finance team.

Flows, Approvals & Activities

We’ve built in the flexibility to manage how work gets done. Whether it’s multi-step approvals, recurring tasks, or automated workflows, Aedon adapts to your processes—not the other way round.

Integrating Seamlessly with Salesforce

Aedon is built on Salesforce. That means you get the benefits of a world-class CRM platform alongside your finance system. It also means deep integration with everything from project delivery to fundraising—without needing third-party tools or custom connectors. For organisations already using Salesforce, this is a game-changer.

Why It Matters

We’re not just adding features for the sake of it. We’re helping organisations unlock a new way of working—one where finance isn’t a back-office function, but a strategic partner.

If your team is still wrestling with disconnected systems or working around the limitations of your accounting software, it’s time to think differently.
