Human Centric Finance

In a job seeker’s market, it’s crucial that companies invest in all aspects of the employee experience to attract and retain top talent.

Employee experience can’t be left to the HR team alone–it requires commitment and creativity from all departments, including finance.

  • Implementing simple, user-friendly tools and processes
  • Empowering employees to focus on their jobs instead of complex finance policies and processes
  • Democratizing access to finance data to drive better decision-making for employees and managers
  • Automating processes that typically cause friction between finance and employees, like policy enforcement and reconciling expenses
