Spendesk

Spend management platform for finance teams

Visit Spendesk

Spendesk is a spend management platform that brings corporate cards, expenses, accounts payable, procurement, and budgets into one connected system. It gives finance teams real-time visibility over company spending, approval workflows, receipt matching with OCR, budget monitoring, and multi-entity support, helping replace multiple point solutions with a single platform.

Key capabilities include smart corporate cards, expense management, accounts payable, procure-to-pay, budget controls, and pre-accounting. Spendesk AI Connect uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect spend data to AI assistants such as Claude and Dust, enabling teams to ask questions, build reports, and automate recurring updates through read-only access. Integrations cover accounting and ERP systems including Xero, NetSuite, Sage, DATEV, SAP, and QuickBooks, along with HR platforms like Personio, HiBob, and BambooHR, productivity tools such as Slack, travel systems like TravelPerk, SSO providers including Okta and Azure AD, and a public API.

Spendesk is designed for mid-sized finance teams, particularly companies between 50 and 250 employees, including CFOs, finance managers, accounts payable teams, and procurement leaders. It supports multi-entity, multi-currency, and international operations. Pricing combines a fixed platform fee with variable transaction fees, with no per-seat charges. Implementation typically takes three to four weeks, with dedicated onboarding support and ongoing customer success.
