ChargeOver

Overview

ChargeOver is an enterprise-grade cloud subscription billing and accounts receivable management platform designed to automate complex recurring transaction cycles. The software handles end-to-end invoice distribution, multi-currency credit card provisioning, and rule-based dunning notifications natively to recapture failed customer transactions. By synchronizing live payment data streams directly with accounting ledger nodes like QuickBooks and Xero, it deletes manual entries. It saves accounting teams massive financial closure time while preserving complete system audit trail trails.

Founder story

ChargeOver was co-founded in 2011 by software developer and billing automation innovator Keith Palmer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While designing solutions for recurring service operators, Keith noticed that scaling business teams consistently faced brittle manual invoice processing errors, tedious spreadsheet trackers, and heavy developer bottlenecks. To bridge this administrative breakdown without requiring massive custom ERP implementation costs, he engineered an open API middle layer that automates recurring revenues safely.
