July Monthly Recap: Product Updates and Community Highlights

This month, we made it easier to send crypto,⁴ organize accounting data, manage payables, and keep company structure up to date in your Slash account. Outside the product, we brought the Slash founder community together, launched a new series highlighting some of our most exciting new users, and accidentally went viral on X.

Build Accounting-Ready CSV Exports

Not every finance team connects Slash directly to an accounting platform. Some teams rely on CSV exports for custom accounting workflows, working with an external bookkeeper, or preparing data before importing it into another system.

Slash’s CSV accounting workflow now supports custom accounting dimensions and editable mappings. Teams can configure the fields that matter to their books—such as departments, locations, classes, projects, or other internal dimensions—and include them in their exports. You can also update how Slash fields map to CSV columns before exporting.

Turn Reviewed Transactions into Reusable Accounting Mappings

When a finance team reviews a transaction, the coding decision it makes often applies to future transactions as well. Slash now lets teams easily create a reusable accounting mapping directly from a reviewed entry.

After confirming the appropriate accounting treatment for a transaction, a reviewer can save that decision as a custom mapping. Slash can then use the mapping to help prefill relevant accounting fields on similar transactions in the future. No more making the same coding decision over and over.

Custom mappings can help reduce repetitive work, improve consistency across reviewers, and speed up accounting review while keeping the final review and posting decision in the finance team’s control.

Integrate with QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage Intacct

A More Complete Accounting Review Workspace

Accounting review is easier when the supporting information and necessary actions are available in one place. We added several improvements that give reviewers more context and make exceptions easier to resolve:

Smarter vendor suggestions: Slash can suggest a vendor while an entry is being reviewed, helping teams connect activity to the appropriate accounting record. Teams that do not want to use these suggestions can turn them off.
Vendor management in the workflow: Reviewers can create or edit vendor records without leaving the accounting process when a vendor is missing or its information needs to be corrected.
Payment-method context: Review screens provide clearer information about how a transaction was paid, helping reviewers understand the underlying activity.
Receipt previews: Supporting receipts can be previewed during review, reducing the need to move between separate screens.
Accounting dimensions on expense reports: Teams can apply the dimensions used in their accounting structure when reviewing expense-report activity.
Clearer actions and feedback: Improved labels and status feedback make it easier to understand what an accounting action will do and whether it was completed successfully.
Cleaner search and export details: Transaction method and cashback-rate information are represented more clearly when teams search activity or export accounting data.

Open Recipient Records Directly From Shared Links

Recipient detail pages can now be opened directly from links shared by teammates. When someone needs help reviewing a payee, checking payment details, or following up on recipient activity, they can share a link to the relevant record instead of asking another person to locate it manually.

Connect Bill Pay with Accounting

Bill Pay and accounting now work together more closely for teams using a supported accounting integration.

A bill paid through Slash can sync to the connected accounting system as both the bill and the corresponding bill payment.

The bill represents the company’s obligation to a vendor
The bill payment records how that obligation was settled

Sending both records helps the accounting system reflect the full lifecycle of the payable rather than showing only a standalone movement of money.

Bill-related accounting entries also have a dedicated review workflow in Slash. Finance teams can review the accounting details and supporting context before the records are posted to their connected system.

This reduces the need to recreate a payable after it has been paid, makes the payment easier to match to its source bill, and helps keep accounts-payable records and cash activity better aligned.

Manage Company Structure From Organization Settings

Admins can now manage more of their company structure from Settings → Organization. The new organization-management experience brings departments, locations, member assignments, and member details into one place.

Admins can:

Create and manage departments and locations
Review the members associated with the organization
Assign members to the appropriate organizational attributes
View and update member details
Invite new members through a clearer flow
Remove members with a more straightforward administrative experience

This gives growing companies a cleaner way to keep Slash aligned with how their teams are organized. Instead of maintaining department and location information through scattered administrative steps, admins can manage the underlying structure from a dedicated workspace.

The new structure also creates a stronger foundation for finance operations: accounting data can be organized using more consistent company dimensions, and teams can more easily understand where members sit within the organization.

Life at Slash: Moments from July

July was also a busy month for the Slash community, with new founder stories, events, and an unintended viral moment:

Battle of the Startups: We teamed up with item for a pickleball tournament that brought together 32 San Francisco startup teams competing for a $2,000 prize.
Founder spotlights: We published new profiles of Jesse and Isabelle, the founders of Cedar, and Mahesh Murugesan, the 18-year-old founder of wastewater technology company Effluent.
Card Ninja: One of our interns coded a browser game that lets players slash an old card and compete for the highest score.
Founder events: The Slash office hosted a Silicon Valley Fellowship panel, along with an evening that brought together leading operators from the e-commerce community.

And finally, Nick spent a weekend building a low-poly first-person brainrot shooter. It trended on X, made the news, and sparked a minor panic about runaway AI spending. To learn how the story unfolded, click here.
