What We Do

Airbase is the only true comprehensive spend management platform available to small, midsize, and early enterprise companies. It brings three products into one system: all-inclusive accounts payable automation, software-enabled corporate cards, and simplified employee expense reimbursements. Airbase applies consistent and robust approval workflows across all products, it automates accounting, and provides real-time reporting for all non-payroll spend. Our innovative accounting and operational automation results in a faster close, better visibility, and true control over all spend. Most companies rely on a combination of siloed software products, spreadsheets, and manual workarounds to pay vendors and reimburse employees. Airbase spend management eliminates the resulting messy tech-stack and inefficient processes by replacing products like Expensify and Bill.com. Airbase empowers employees with an easy, uniform approach to spending company money, whether that involves corporate card spend, raising a purchase order, or requesting reimbursement. Unlock trapped talent, eliminate wasted spend, build healthy spend culture with Airbase
