Emburse Spend FAQs
Expense management software streamlines business finances by automating the process of tracking, submitting, approving, and reimbursing employee expenses. It ensures compliance with company policies, reduces fraud risks, and improves data accuracy.
Key features include:
- Automated Policy Enforcement: Flags rule violations and ensures all expenses align with company policies.
- Integrations: Connects directly with financial institutions and accounting integrations, reducing manual work and human error.
- Actionable Insights: Provides detailed reports and real-time data to support informed decision-making.
Using expense management software transforms finance teams into strategic resources. By automating manual tasks like report creation and data analysis, teams save time and reduce costs. For example the Aberdeen Group estimates the average cost of processing a single expense report is $20.65, but automation significantly lowers this expense while simplifying workflows for employees.
With user-friendly tools like Emburse Spend, employees can quickly log expenses, minimizing disruptions and increasing efficiency across your business.
Emburse Spend is best for startups and small to medium-sized businesses in the USA. It’s particularly valuable for companies where employees frequently make purchases using corporate cards or out-of-pocket, such as for gas, supplies, or other daily expenses. It’s also a great fit for organizations managing recurring expenses like subscriptions or marketing budgets.
Emburse Spend uses transaction-based submission instead of traditional batch submission, providing your team with the ability to to:
- Submit expenses immediately after a purchase
- Apply detailed, expense-level controls to align with company policies and streamline automation
- Customize how expenses are viewed and reported on
This approach is especially beneficial for companies with employees requiring reimbursements. With transaction-based submission, reimbursements can be initiated as soon as an individual expense is approved, allowing employees to get reimbursed quickly. In contrast, batch reporting systems delay reimbursements until all expenses in a batch are approved, often leading to longer wait times for employees.
Emburse Spend integrates with leading accounting systems, including QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct. This ensures seamless data flow into your existing ecosystem, aligning with your chart of accounts and mapping custom fields such as departments or customers.
Beyond simple data syncing, Emburse Spend automates key bookkeeping tasks. For example, it automatically matches and reconciles expenses with bank debits, saving time and minimizing errors.
Emburse Spend also offers flexibility with both cash and accrual syncing methods. This capability, enabled by Emburse Spend's transaction-based approach, allows expenses to be indexed and synced individually in real time.
You’ll always have full access to your data. Expense data can be easily downloaded as a .csv or PDF file, ensuring transparency and flexibility without restrictions.
By automating bookkeeping and offering robust integrations, Emburse Spend streamlines financial management while giving you greater control over your data.
Emburse Spend provides a centralized view of all issued corporate cards, allowing you to track transactions before the end of the month. This visibility helps you distinguish between reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenses, streamline employee payments, and ensure accurate reporting. With this level of oversight, you can take full control of your corporate card program while reducing the time spent on monthly reconciliations.
Emburse Spend starts at $8 per user per month with a monthly plan. For more information, visit our pricing page.
