Live Budgets lets department heads allocate spending to people or teams and track usage in real time; Brex AI can flag anomalous activity. Accounting features include QuickBooks and NetSuite integrations, along with suggested GL coding rules and mappings. Reimbursements can be sent to local currencies and bank accounts across 40 countries, without per-transaction reimbursement fees.
