Does Cashflow Manager offer a public API?
No. Cashflow Manager does not publish a public API — no read access, no write access, no developer documentation. It is desktop software: the books live in a program installed on your computer, not in a cloud service that outside applications can call. There is simply no channel through which an expense platform could connect and post transactions automatically.
Why does the desktop deployment matter?
Cloud accounting systems at least have the option of exposing an API, because the data sits on the vendor's servers. With desktop software the data sits on your machine, so even in principle an outside service can't reach it. Everything that enters Cashflow Manager does so through the program itself — typed in, or brought in from a file.
What does this mean for managing card spend?
Without an API, no card or expense platform can claim a live sync with Cashflow Manager, and any that implies one should be read sceptically. The realistic workflow for card transactions is file-based: get the transaction data into a file the program can import, then import it. Done by hand from a bank or card statement, that means reformatting columns and typing in allocations every time.
How does Vergo work with Cashflow Manager?
Vergo takes the file route and removes the manual reshaping. Card spend on Vergo cards is captured with receipts and coding at the point of purchase. When you're ready to update the books, Vergo generates a custom-built CSV export matched to the import format Cashflow Manager expects. You download it on the computer where Cashflow Manager runs and import it — no column surgery, no rekeying.
It is worth being plain: this is not an API integration, because none is possible. It is the honest automation path for a desktop program with no public interface — structured data in Vergo, a matched file out, a clean import in.
What should a small business check before adding an expense tool?
The test is simple: ask the vendor to show the actual route into Cashflow Manager. If the answer involves an API, it is not describing this program. If the answer is a file, ask to see one imported into a copy of your books — a five-minute test that separates a working path from a slide. Vergo's answer is the file, stated up front: a matched CSV export you can trial against the program before committing anything, with the same import routine your bookkeeper already knows.
Is there any developer documentation for Cashflow Manager?
No. Cashflow Manager publishes no API documentation and offers no programmatic access for third-party software.
Can any expense platform sync live with Cashflow Manager?
No. As desktop software with no public API, Cashflow Manager cannot receive data from an outside service. All transaction data enters through the program, including by file import.
How does Vergo fit in?
Vergo captures card spend with coding and receipts, then produces a custom CSV export matched to Cashflow Manager's import format, so the period's transactions import cleanly instead of being typed in.
Does this work if the books are kept on one office computer?
Yes — Vergo runs in the browser, so you download the export on whichever machine runs Cashflow Manager and import it there.
