Finance & Accounting Teams: Automate Spend, Eliminate Manual Work, and Close the Books Faster

Finance and Accounting leaders are under pressure to enforce controls, maintain accuracy, and keep the business moving—without drowning in spreadsheets, paper receipts, or endless invoice processing.

BlueBean brings automation to Expense Management, Procure-to-Pay, and Tail Spend, giving finance teams real-time visibility and fully compliant transactions from the moment money is spent.

Finally—No More Manual Processes

Traditional finance workflows rely on chasing receipts, reconciling spreadsheets, approving spend twice, and keying invoices by hand. BlueBean replaces all of that with instant, automated, audit-ready digital data.

With BlueBean you eliminate:

❌ Manual spreadsheets

❌ Paper receipts and small invoices

❌ Double approvals

❌ Manual data entry into your accounting system

❌ Endless chasing and follow-ups

And you gain a seamless, automated flow of spend data that closes the books faster—every month.

Automated, Pre-Approved Spending That Hits the Books Cleanly

BlueBean lets teams set rules and controls in advance. Once activated, every purchase made with a BlueBean virtual card automatically follows those rules—no human intervention required.

How it Works:

  • Pre-approved virtual cards ensure spend is compliant before money leaves the company.

  • Once a purchase is made, the transaction is instantly tagged, coded, and categorized.

  • The transaction flows into your accounting system fully prepared—no second approval needed.

This means finance teams spend less time approving, reviewing, and correcting data—and more time on strategic work.

Receipts, Invoices, and Justification—Captured Automatically

BlueBean captures every supporting document automatically the moment a purchase happens.

Automatic documentation includes:

  • Real-time capture of receipts and invoices, both online and at point-of-sale.

  • Automatic sync with accounting systems.

  • Rules-based requirements for notes, GL codes, cost centers, project tags, and more.

Everything is collected instantly—before an employee forgets, and before Finance has to chase them.
