Overview
Spendesk is a spend management platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Paris, with offices across Europe and a base in San Francisco. It unifies company cards, invoice processing, expense reimbursements, budgets, approvals and reporting into a single system for finance teams.
The platform issues virtual and physical payment cards, captures receipts via OCR, processes supplier invoices, and manages out-of-pocket reimbursements, while applying approval workflows and budget controls. Real-time dashboards give visibility into every type of company spend, and accounting integrations help reconcile and export transactions automatically.
Spendesk is built for growing European businesses, commonly in the 50-1,000 employee range, and emphasizes consolidating disparate spend types (cards, expenses, AP, subscriptions) into one controlled, auditable workflow. It integrates with accounting and ERP systems including NetSuite, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics and Xero.
