## The Problem

Employee expense reports arrive with missing receipts, wrong GL codes, and policy violations — and every rejection adds days to reimbursement and resentment to the Construction Accounting team.

## What We Build

AI validates receipts against policy, auto-codes expenses, flags out-of-policy items with a clear reason, and routes approvals — expense report cycle time drops from 9 days to same-day.

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current expense report processing process and identify where AI saves the most time.

3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
