Take my money already! This is going to be a life saver - it's like a mophie juice pack for my MacBook, but smaller and more powerful.

This would definitely alleviate hours of headache for my dad's retail business across each of his locations if it works. For someone who's not technical, but wastes tons of time in spreadsheets himself, how easy would it actually

I used to work at a major bank on the sales team and I can't tell you how instrumental it is to have a transparent tool like this across the organization to help motivate you so you can see where you stand and feel part of something bi

That sounds like a great use case for Abacus. We do target small businesses for the most part, but the only thing holding back a company from signing up with Abacus is if they want a whole bunch of custom accounting work done, which we won

With Abacus, you'd never have to worry about scanning receipts at the airport and "cleaning up" the next day to fit all your expenses into an arbitrary report because it was so quick and easy to do in real time, that not only

It really depends on the expense volume, which is why we let managers set the frequency of notifications - for heavy volume sales organizations, they may prefer to review it as a daily digest, whereas for low volume founders, they expect to

You can approve expense 'Reports' through Concur's app, which you likely won't see a manager do more than once a month because your company has the pleasure of paying $11 per report. Abacus is built to submit and approve

There may only be 3 of us right now, but we're proud of what 3 guys in a suburban townhouse in Mountain View can build when they work their asses off all day everyday to build a product for customers that want to buy from people that a

Thanks! Haha, yah... that's a fun story. So, this really big bank bought a wealth management company back in 2005 named Abacus, but post-acquisition had the domain redirect to their corporate domain. Presumably, they'd invested

Thanks! Firstly, glad you're no longer having to suffer through that, haha. It's a great point you bring up - we're trying stay focused on serving businesses with 5-100 employees where that's less of an issue. That being

Thanks! Yup - we batch up all approved expenses nightly and do 1 aggregated debit out of the company's bank account to kick off the payout. You know, we were also initially expecting to face more resistance, but it turns out finance d

Totally felt that pain! And honestly, your companies don't want to delay the payout - it's just a hassle for them to do with existing services. That's why we baked it directly into the approval process, so they don't n

I'm glad you asked. It's really just an entirely different approach. We’re not building another expense tracker (no offense - some people just need to track expenses). We believe the core of the problem is not in the tracking o
