Software Solutions Assoc
4.0

Krystal T.: My name is Krystal. I am software solutions manager. And I work for a company with a target range of about 20 employees. And I rate Bill Spend & Expense a four. Prior to using Bill Spend & Expense, we used Expensify, which, while a robust software, did have its limitations specifically with sync errors with QuickBooks. And also, the cost was pretty high, and Bill Spend & Expense was a lot less expensive being that it is no charge and a lot better with the integration that it offers. Bill Spend & Expense allows our company to be able to manage exactly how much every person is spending and keep all our expenses in one place while still being able to flow that information over to QuickBooks, our accounting software. And Bill Spend & Expense allows us to be able to see all of our expenses in whichever way that we need to report it, and also makes it easy to manage in how... I'm sorry. Also makes it easy to empower each of our employees to be able to have their own corporate credit card to be able to spend from. And that helps also with our auditing. With having everyone be able to easily capture their receipts and upload them and code their transactions in real time, saves us time in our close process and makes it easier for our auditors to be able to see exactly where our money is going. Getting started with Bill Spend & Expense was very easy. They have a team that walked us through every step of the way, from the demo to the setup. We were able to get an overview of the system and really be able to tailor it to what we wanted because the system allows you to configure it in so many different ways. It was good to have the internal team there for guidance on what their expertise on what the system's able to do and be able to tailor it to what we needed it to do. My advice for anyone looking into Bill Spend & Expense would be to sit and really think about what your overall goal for your company expenses are. Is it to reduce time in your close? Are you looking to empower your employees to manage their own departments? And really take the time to understand how to set up... If you do decide to go with it, to take the time to figure out how to set up your budgets in the way that's most meaningful to your corporation. Rather than using a blanket idea of what it could be, really dive into the features of it so that you can tailor the system to work for you exactly how you need it to and reduce that time and save that time and be more efficient.

Andrew B: My name's Andrew. I'm the founder of Mountain Dog Marketing. We're a small business, and I would give Brex a five star. Before Brex, we were using a hodgepodge of credit cards, QuickBooks and spreadsheets to track what we're using now with Brex. We chose Brex for a one-stop shop for a variety of our needs. Obviously credit cards, but it was a much more powerful credit card for us where we could not only use the track spending, but impose limits very easily, upload receipts and set spending limits for certain employees, have virtual cards as well as basically essentially a bank account, which pays a very high interest rate for just having a daily deposit. It was simple to get started with Brex. They have both a web browser-based version and an app. It seems to have gotten a little bit more complicated as they've added on layers but to initially get started, it was very easy to sync all of our bank accounts with either the app or the browser. If you're considering Brex, you almost have a backup plan. It's a great FinTech app for our business, but they don't take anybody. For example, I've suggested them for some of my customers who've not been able to be accepted by the platform. If you're not 100% sure you can get it, you might need to look around for other opportunities. Should you do get accepted, it's very easy to get started, to get prepared for the experience. It takes a little bit more to get used to now because there are different settings that they have now. For example, how much spending one of your users can get. But it's very straightforward right out of the box.
