Finance Overview

A finance experience for directors, managers, and residents

Overview

Finance in Manage.Management is role-specific. Directors and management companies get a broader workspace for running the building’s finances, while leaseholders and shareholders get a clearer resident view of charges, invoices, payments, and accounts.

Director / manager workspace

Overview, transactions, budgets, service charges, reserve-fund visibility, reports, and Section 20 support.

Resident money view

Current position, service-charge breakdown, outstanding invoices, payments, annual accounts, and major-works context.

Director and manager finance workspace

Directors and management companies work through a set of finance tabs:
1

Open Finances for the right building

Management-company users may need to choose the building they want to work on first.
2

Complete financial setup

Start with the building’s financial setup so the rest of the tabs reflect the right service-charge and reporting structure.
3

Work through the main tabs

Use the tabs above for day-to-day work — most activity happens in Transactions and Service Charges.
4

Use specialist tools where enabled

Section 20 workflow support, bank-transaction views, Xero, and MRI/Qube import surfaces appear where enabled for your organisation.

Collecting payments online

Where a management company has enabled online payments (via Mollie), residents can pay service charges and request fees directly in the platform with a Pay now button. Buildings without online payments show residents clear bank transfer details instead, with an I’ve made payment confirmation step so management can reconcile.

Resident money view

Residents see a simpler experience with Overview, Service Charges, and Section 20 Notices tabs — answering the most important questions without exposing the whole management workspace.
1

Current service-charge position

Review the headline balance or status for the selected property or unit.
2

Breakdown and invoices

Check the line items and any outstanding invoices that still need attention.
3

Pay online or by bank transfer

Pay outstanding charges with Pay now where online payments are enabled, or follow the bank-transfer details shown.
4

Payment history and annual accounts

Use the same area to review historic payments and the building’s shared annual financial records.
5

Major works context

Section 20 notices, where applicable, surface alongside the resident money view rather than in a separate silo.

Good public-facing guidance

Explain both sides of the experience

Directors need operational tools, but residents need clarity. Good docs acknowledge both.

Keep finance linked to documents

Accounts, invoices, budgets, and notices are more useful when the supporting files live nearby.

Use meetings and communications when needed

Bigger financial changes often require a matching communication or meeting workflow.

Avoid over-promising automation

Only describe integrations or exports that are enabled and documented for your organisation.
