Spend AgentIn developmentAudit
Expense & vendor spend

Every expense reviewed. Every policy actually enforced.

Card swipes, reimbursements, and recurring vendor charges checked the day they land — against policy, budget, and what this vendor usually costs. Routine spend clears itself. The rest gets a question.

The problem

Expense & vendor spend is the job nobody has time to do well.

The Spend Agent reviews every card transaction, reimbursement, and vendor charge against your policy, your history, and your budget. It approves the routine, questions the odd, and catches the subscriptions nobody remembers signing up for.

  • The expense policy is a PDF

    It exists, nobody reads it, and it is enforced only when someone happens to notice a receipt. Compliance is a matter of luck.

  • Subscriptions compound

    Tools get trialled, forgotten, and renewed. Seat counts drift up. The card statement grows a little every month and nobody owns the total.

  • Review happens after the money is gone

    Questions get asked at month-end, weeks after the transaction, when the answer is 'I don't remember'.

What it does

The whole job, not a feature of it.

Everything the Spend Agent handles day to day. Anything material waits for your approval; everything else simply gets done.

  • 01

    Policy checks on every transaction

    Category, amount, merchant, timing, and receipt presence checked against the rules you set, the day the charge lands.

  • 02

    Receipt matching and chasing

    Pairs receipts with card transactions from inboxes and uploads. Asks the cardholder for what is missing.

  • 03

    Subscription and seat audit

    Finds every recurring charge, tracks seat counts and renewal dates, and flags tools that nobody has used.

  • 04

    Vendor price drift

    Notices when a vendor's monthly charge creeps up and asks whether the increase was agreed.

  • 05

    Budget-aware approvals

    Shows the approver what this expense does to the department's remaining budget before they say yes.

  • 06

    Anomaly detection

    Duplicate charges, weekend spend on a weekday card, a merchant that has never appeared before.

How it runs

Connect once. Set the rules. Approve the exceptions.

The agent works inside the systems you already run and never becomes the system of record. Here is the sequence from day one.

  1. 01

    Connect cards and ledger

    Brex, Ramp, or bank card feeds plus the ledger. Read-only.

  2. 02

    Write the policy as rules

    The agent turns your policy document into checks. You review the interpretation once.

  3. 03

    Review as transactions land

    Routine spend passes. Everything else gets a question to the cardholder or an approval to the manager.

  4. 04

    Monthly spend review

    A short report: what grew, what is unused, what broke policy, and the three decisions worth making.

Guardrails

What it will never do. What always waits for you.

Thresholds make the routine automatic and the rest deliberate. These limits are not settings you might forget to enable; they are how the agent is built.

  • Never blocks or reverses a transaction. It flags; humans decide.

  • Never cancels a subscription. It recommends and waits for approval.

  • Never contacts a vendor about pricing without sign-off.

  • Never changes a policy rule on its own, even when a rule is consistently overridden.

Waits for your sign-off

  1. 01Out-of-policy spend above the threshold
  2. 02Subscription cancellations and seat reductions
  3. 03Vendor pricing queries
  4. 04Any policy rule change the agent suggests

Each approval arrives with the reasoning attached and is logged whether you approve or decline.

What it learns

The brain is yours. Not ours.

The Spend Agent captures the judgment that usually lives in one person's head and writes it down in plain language. You can read it, correct it, and export it at any time.

Full export, always
  • N01

    That the ops lead's Friday food charges are the weekly team lunch and are in policy.

  • N02

    Which SaaS tools are genuinely load-bearing and which are one person's habit.

  • N03

    The vendors who quietly raise prices every January.

  • N04

    Which cardholders always forget receipts and need a nudge on day two, not day ten.
