Spendesk

Spendesk is a business spend management company founded in 2016 within the Paris-based startup studio eFounders, and now headquartered in Paris, France, with offices in Berlin, London and San Francisco. It was built to give finance teams a single system for company cards, invoices and purchase approvals instead of tracking spend across disconnected tools and spreadsheets.

The platform combines smart corporate cards, automated invoice capture and accounts-payable processing, procurement approval workflows and real-time spend controls, with an AI layer called Spendesk AI Connect that reads invoices and flags anomalies. It serves finance leaders and accounts-payable teams at more than 3,000 companies across over 35 countries.

1. Smart corporate cards: Issues physical and virtual cards with built-in limits.

2. Invoice capture: Reads and codes incoming invoices automatically for approval.

3. Accounts payable: Automates approval, payment and reconciliation of supplier bills.

4. Procurement workflows: Routes purchase requests through configurable approval chains.

5. Spend controls: Sets real-time budget limits by team, card or category.

6. Spendesk AI Connect: Flags anomalies and duplicate invoices before payment.
