If you host with AWS, Financica can pull your invoices in automatically. When you open an expense that looks like an AWS invoice, a banner offers to connect AWS.
How to connect
- Open an AWS expense, or go to Settings > Integrations > Amazon Web Services.
- Choose a connection method:
- IAM role (recommended). Create a role in your AWS account that lets Financica read your invoices, and paste its ARN. If a one-click button is shown, it opens AWS CloudFormation with everything pre-filled; otherwise copy the two policy snippets from the page into a new IAM role. Nothing secret leaves your AWS account.
- Access keys. Create an IAM user that can only read invoices (the exact policy is shown on the page) and paste its access key pair.
- Financica verifies the access and immediately starts importing.
Connect your payer (management) account: in an AWS Organization, member accounts don't own the invoices.
What gets imported
- Every invoice. Each AWS invoice becomes an expense with the official PDF and any supplemental tax documents attached.
- Real bookkeeping data. Totals, tax breakdowns, currencies and due dates come straight from AWS's invoicing records, and the supplier is the actual issuing entity (for example "Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL").
- Automatic posting. New invoices are booked against an AWS hosting expense account. They stay unpaid until you reconcile the matching bank payment.
Good to know
- Access is read-only and limited to invoices: Financica can never change anything in your AWS account.
- New invoices are picked up automatically on a regular schedule; you can also trigger a sync from the integration page.
- Credit memos and payment receipts are not imported; AWS credits are already reflected in the invoice totals.
