Control breaks when spend scatters
Spend runs across cards, invoices, reimbursements, and subscriptions, each in its own workflow. Authority sits with budget owners across teams, entities, and locations.
You reconcile after the fact, enforce policy by hand, and pull reports from one tool to check against another.
Set the control that fits how you run, whether that is cards with pre-approved, recurring limits or a full pre-spend approval process. Payhawk enforces policy at the point of spend, so no one can slip a purchase past it by miscoding the expense later.
See budget versus actual the moment money moves, across teams, entities, and categories. Payhawk surfaces overspend up and down your P&L before it becomes a variance you have to explain.
Move all of your spend into one controlled system. Payhawk pulls cards, invoices, expenses, and subscriptions together and syncs them to your ERP, so you govern all company spend.
One connected platform, full control
Send same-day and urgent payments without dropping the process around them. Approvals, limits, and the four-eyes principle stay in force at the moment of payment, so speed never opens the door to fraud. Suppliers get paid on time, on your terms.
Hold control across every entity, currency, and location you operate in. Payhawk gives you one real-time view up and down a multi-entity P&L, so you govern spend across the group without consolidating data by hand.

From scattered spend to full control
FAQs
No. Spend control is the result you get when a spend management platform works as one system. When cards, invoices, expenses, approvals, and budgets run together and sync to your ERP, control stops leaking between disconnected tools.
Control breaks when spend scatters across teams, entities, and tools faster than finance can reconcile it. Authority gets delegated to budget owners, approvals drift into Slack and email, and miscoded data surfaces too late to act on. Bringing every type of spend into one real-time system keeps control intact across high volume and multiple entities.
Real-time visibility comes from capturing every transaction in one platform as it happens, not from exporting reports after the fact. With cards, invoices, expenses, and subscriptions in a single system synced to your ERP, you see budget versus actual across teams and entities the moment money moves.
Proactive control approves spend before it happens, through purchase requests or pre-approval. Post-approval control lets spend happen within set guardrails, such as open cards with limits. With Payhawk you choose either model, or a mix, setting the level of control from 0 to 100 to fit how each team runs.
Payhawk syncs directly with leading ERP and accounting systems, including systems such as NetSuite, MS Business Central and SAP S/4HANA, posting coded in real time. Spend data flows into your existing stack without a rebuild.
Yes. Payhawk gives finance teams control and visibility across multiple entities, currencies, and locations in one platform. You can see and govern spend up and down a multi-entity P&L without consolidating data by hand.
Every transaction carries a complete audit trail, with approvals, policies, and receipts captured automatically. AI actions run with human confirmation and full audit logging, and Payhawk holds certifications including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS Level 1. The current certification list is published on the Payhawk trust portal.
Spend under management is the share of total company spend that runs through one controlled system, rather than scattered across cards, tools, and manual processes. The more spend under management, the more of your budget you can see, approve, and control in real time.
