End the guesswork. Build your financial roadmap

Turn expense categorization from an admin task into a strategic financial roadmap. Manual processes obscure the data you need most, creating blind spots that directly hurt your bottom line through:

Risking audit & lost deductions

Inconsistent coding means you fail to isolate critical costs (like R&D or capital assets), making your deductions indefensible and inviting IRS scrutiny.

Inaccurate data impacting budgets

When employees dump spend into miscellaneous, your budget vs. actual reports are skewed, killing your ability to track departmental and project profitability.

Wasted hours

Finance team loses 4-12+ hours per month manually chasing employees for context and fixing categorization errors instead of focusing on strategic analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Sage Expense Management allows companies to restrict which categories, projects, or cost codes are visible based on an employee’s department, location, or role. For example, a field tech will only see 'Job Supplies,' while a director sees 'Travel & Entertainment.' This prevents 90% of coding errors at the source.

You can also set rules to completely hide or restrict access to broad categories like 'Miscellaneous,' forcing employees to correctly code expenses to a specific, auditable line item.

Yes. Sage Expense Management let’s employees (or approvers) to split a single expense by percentage or dollar amount across multiple projects, cost centers, or categories. This is very useful for shared costs like software subscriptions or bulk supply purchases.

Approvers and finance teams can modify the category at any stage of the workflow, before it syncs to your integrated accounting software. We also allow you to send the expense back to the employee with a comment asking them to correct it.

Yes. With Sage Expense Management, you can set a hard limit (e.g., $50) for 'Meals' but a higher limit (e.g., $500) for 'Airfare.' If an employee exceeds the category-specific limit, the system can either block the submission or flag it for special review.

We keep your core GL simple but use Dynamic Fields to map expense details (Project, Department, Location) directly to your dimensions. This prevents a bloated Chart of Accounts and ensures clean data sync to Sage Intacct.

Categorization is automated first. Our AI uses OCR and Merchant Rules to auto-assign the GL code. The employee's primary role is simply to verify the suggested category and tag the necessary Project or Customer. This ends manual data entry and guesswork.

Instant GL coding. Zero month-end corrections.
