Better reporting and tracking
Monitoring spend across multiple teams and pipelines can be a major hurdle when you want to control cash flow. With expense tracking automation and built-in expense reports, your finance team will know exactly how your money is allocated. Using corporate credit cards (physical and virtual), you can gain real-time control over who has access to cash, who is authorized to spend it, and what transactions they’re allowed to make. You can set expense and credit limits, allocate funds for specific use cases, and even manage bill payments with ease. Spend management has never been simpler, and onboarding is easy for your entire team.

Better budgets & approvals
Maintaining financial visibility is more than just keeping a tight lid on company spend. You also need to be able to control how and where funds are spent and automate expense capture. Spendesk helps you lower risk by helping you set card limits and budgets on who can spend and where those funds can be allocated. With a streamlined approval process, instant access to all transactions, sub-budgets, and more, you’ll always be on top of your game when it’s time to close the month.
