Tools & Automation
The right tools reduce manual toil and increase accuracy. Expense management, invoice automation, and card reconciliation tools reduce the need for manual entry and allow rules-based categorization that scales as the company grows. Prioritize tools that integrate cleanly with your general ledger and billing systems.
Automation should be paired with governance: set simple tagging conventions and a lightweight approval workflow so the system both enforces policy and remains easy for employees to use. Make sure automation produces traceable audit trails to speed reviews and month-end close.
Example: Configure your expense tool to automatically match receipts to card transactions and flag outliers above a threshold for manager review. This reduces time spent reconciling and surfaces problematic spends early.
Action items:
- Map integrations between expense tools and accounting software
- Create a short policy doc (one page) with examples of acceptable spend
- Pilot automated receipt matching in one department, measure time saved, then roll out
Automate first where you get the biggest time savings so your team can focus on analysis and control rather than data entry.
