Product Description

Real-time employee expense management & reimbursement

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Abacus is the only platform to remove the arbitrary employee-generated expense report from the process - making submitting and reviewing expenses faster and more accurate. Each expense is submitted and entered into the system in real time, giving admins instant visibility into spend. Expenses are then automatically and logically organized into Live Reports as they enter the system according to their business purpose.

Live Reports make sure that expenses are always organized. They enable you to review expenses by employee (similar to a traditional expense report), project, client, time interval, or any custom data point important to your business. Reviewing expenses in meaningful combinations (i.e. all of the expenses for a Project sorted by Category) helps you extract insights and context that wouldn't be apparent if you were to only look at an employee-generated expense report.
