“Before Emerge we were sharing a few credit cards between a team of 20 to 30 and struggling to reconcile all the payments and receipts. Emerge solved the exact pain point we had. Now we can issue cards in minutes, track spend, and stay on top of reporting.”

From expense chaos to under an hour

McCulloch & Partners used Emerge to transform expense management for a fast-moving client. Team cards replaced personal spending and reimbursements, real-time visibility replaced end-of-month surprises, and Xero integration turned hours of reconciliation into a job that can now be wrapped up in under an hour.
