Spend management — all in one place
Tracking corporate spend can be a major challenge because expenses aren’t always tracked in one place. An ERP system or similar software solution might manage procurement and invoice management, but it may not handle debit/credit card deployment, travel expenses, or expense reimbursements. Spendesk is a spend management platform that helps you view and manage all expenses in one place so that you always have a single source of financial truth.

Get granular insights into how teams spend money
Ever wanted to know how employees are really spending their money? Many financial management solutions only provide a high-level overview of team spending trends. With Spendesk, you’ll have access to everything you need to dive deep into spend habits, expense tracking, and more. No matter whether you’re a startup, a small business, or a growing organization, this functionality can be a game-changer on the road to complete financial accountability.

Top-down accountability that works
Even with dedicated expense management software, it can be easy for approval workflows to fall apart. Finance teams need to delegate some approval authority to department managers, and it’s easy for spending guidelines to get lost in translation. Spendesk removes that managerial burden by using rules, spending policies, and budgets that help cards manage themselves. That way, no matter how you set up the chain of responsibility, there are always safeguards in place.
)
Flexible spend deployment and approval automation
It’s easy for accounting software tools to fall prey to a one-size-fits-all approach. With Spendesk, you’ll have the tools you need to employ greater flexibility with your spend. Employees can request permission and approval when they need items that fall out of the standard spending policy, and approvers can see them in real time. Once approved, categorization, receipt capture, and expense reimbursements are fast, easy, and simple.

Our mission is to ensure that your finance team can manage and track transactions at a granular level. We offer flexible spend controls, automated approval tools, and intuitive dashboards so that finance managers can better understand and accommodate company spending needs.
Most importantly, our platform ensures that all your spend happens in one place, rather than across multiple systems or software tools. From finance managers to employees in the field, everyone can use Spendesk to manage transactions, submit expenses, and dispense funds.
Yes! Spendesk invoicing (coming soon to the US) is used by thousands of finance teams to save time and money by helping to manage all cash flow from a single platform. With Spendesk, you can approve and view live budgets, gain full visibility over ongoing commitments, and use automation tools to match and pay invoices with ease.

You’ll transfer money from your bank account to Spendesk via ACH, credit card, or wire transfer. From there, you can allocate funds as you see fit across your business.
Because all of our corporate cards are prepaid, we don’t run credit checks when new cards are generated. We also don’t require a personal guarantee for any kind of funding or impact credit scores in any way for individual cardholders.
