Interview Transcript

Wouter van Haaften, CFO of Sunday, on reconciling with Equali

Sunday is a financial technology company that was established in 2021. The company specialises in payment solutions for the restaurant and broader hospitality industry. It operates in three core geographies (the US, France and the UK) and currently employs 130 people across offices in Atlanta, Chicago, London and Paris.

My role as head of finance is to lead the finance and accounting teams, and my responsibilities are mainly about driving Sunday's financial roadmap and making sure our finances remain healthy.

The core challenge we face at Sunday relates to the fact that we process millions of transactions on a weekly basis on behalf of the restaurants. When, in addition to the volume of transactions, we take the complexity of working with several partners along the value chain, it makes the reconciliation exercise very complex from a finance and accounting standpoint.

We decided to work with Equali first and foremost because of the team. The team, coming from a broad range of experience within the FinTech and payments industry, gave us confidence that they would understand our problem and also provide us with the right solution.

In addition, Equali offered us dedicated customer support, on which they have delivered constantly for the past year. Every piece of feedback we have provided has been taken with great seriousness, and they have adjusted their product to suit our specific needs.

We use Equali mainly on the reconciliation front, making sure that the money we collect from the restaurant guest ends up in the right bank accounts at the right time. Equali provides us with an additional layer of confidence that our team's work is accurate.

Beyond the reconciliation piece, we also use Equali for two specific use cases:

First, our cash in transit: having a good understanding of the amount of money flowing through our systems at all times, still due to restaurants.

And second, fee reconciliation: making sure that the money we are being charged by our partners is correct.

The value that Equali provides Sunday today is, first, great control and visibility into the funds that flow through our system. But also, leveraging Equali enables our product and engineering teams to focus on revenue and growth-driven initiatives, such as building new features for the restaurants we serve. And on the finance side, it helps us focus on the more strategic projects, such as optimising our P&L and being a real strategic business partner for the teams.
