Abacus

Real-time expense management SaaS platform

Overview

Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship

Abacus provides real-time expense management as a SaaS fintech platform designed for mid-sized companies and enterprises. The product automates expense tracking, reporting, and reimbursement by capturing receipts (including instant submission via photo), syncing data with popular accounting and business systems (QuickBooks, Netsuite, Intacct, Salesforce, etc.), and offering mobile apps for iOS and Android. It operates as a subscription service with optional value-added services like expense card issuing and travel management. Abacus differentiates itself through real-time processing, seamless integrations, and a user-friendly experience that reduces manual data entry and reconciliation. Its goal is to replace traditional, manual expense reports with a faster, streamlined expense system that improves financial operations and speeds money flow.
