Expense management software for service businesses
Service teams spend on travel, client meals and software, and each receipt has to land in the books. Expensify works with any card and has a good mobile app, at $5 per person, or $30/mo for six. It pushes its own card; Ramp gives free corporate cards with limits enforced at the card, but requires a US entity and bank.
