What it is
Emburse Spend is a spend management platform for small and growing businesses. It organizes card spending, reimbursements, receipts, approvals, and reconciliation while checking expenses against company rules. Configured policies can route approvals or flag and block expenses. AI extracts receipt details and matches them to transactions. Businesses can connect existing cards and issue virtual cards through eligible programs, with spending limits, expiry dates, merchant controls, and category controls. Native accounting integrations include QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Xero, with customizable exports for other systems. Connections to Salesforce and Slack are listed, along with receipt syncing from Amazon Business and Uber. iOS and Android apps support receipt capture, expense submission, approvals, and card management. Basic costs $8 a month per user, while Plus costs $12 a month per user. Custom pricing is on request. A 30-day trial may be available to very small organizations after eligibility review.
