Pennylane

Pennylane is a French financial and accounting software company that built a single platform combining invoicing, expense management, cash flow tracking and bookkeeping for small businesses and the accounting firms that serve them. It responds to France’s move toward mandatory electronic invoicing and to SMEs juggling separate tools for billing and accounting.

The platform lets business owners issue certified electronic invoices, manage purchases and cards, monitor cash flow in real time, and share a live accounting file with their accountant, while accounting firms use a dedicated production workspace to manage many client files. Pennylane reports serving over one million users across sole traders, SMEs and accounting practices.
