I've saved at least 2 hours a day in admin work. We've minimised human error with our staff now being accountable for uploading their own receipts. Bill Payments has also brought everything into one spot and with the Xero integration, everything is so much easier now.

We run multiple budgets across several properties, and the system handles it seamlessly. Budgetly has cut our workload by at least 15 hours each week.

We've definitely saved a lot of money. 50 hours saved across the month in bookkeeping fees is massive. So much easier to sync straight into Xero.

Budgetly saves me 2 hours a day in accounting time. I used to have to reconcile and enter transactions. It works seamlessly with Xero and if there ever is an issue I can count on the team to help me out.

Instead of the finance team manually chasing receipts and processing reimbursements, staff enter details and upload receipts directly into the Budgetly app which are synced across to Xero. Such a time saver.

Most companies still manage spending the hard way.

Finance teams are expected to control spending, but the tools they use were never built for it. Staff share corporate cards, receipts arrive weeks late, reimbursements are manual, budgets live in spreadsheets, and bookkeepers reconstruct reality after transactions occur.

Modern companies manage spending before it happens.

Instead of reacting to expenses after the fact, finance teams now control spending at the moment it occurs. Budgetly enables this shift. Spending rules, budgets, cards, and expense capture operate inside a single platform, giving finance teams live visibility and control.
