Work can be hard. Paying for stuff at work shouldn’t be.

Expense reports and out-of-pocket purchases just don't work for today's forward-thinking teams. They take power away from your people. They make a serious mess for your accountant to clear up. They cost you time and money. 

Pleo offers smart company cards that enable employees to buy the things they need for work, all while keeping a company's finance team in control of spending.

Simplify bookkeeping, eliminate expense reports, revolutionise your business.

The G2 Winter Grid 2024 for expense management is in 🥁...

We’re delighted to be recognised as Europe’s leading expense management tool and wouldn’t be here without the support and feedback of our 30,000+ customers across Europe. 

We’ll do our best to stay at the top (right!) of this grid for all the seasons to come. ❄️

When two become one 🤝. Finance and the rest of the business, that is.

When companies don't have an expense policy and people are left to spend using shared credit cards, this can create a gap between the finance team and everyone else. 🤯

Finance are desperate for control, while employees don't know when and on what they should be spending. This was the case for Cubitts before Pleo came along.

See how they revamped their spending process, giving finance greater visibility over company spending and the ability to make data-driven decisions 👉 https://okt.to/qjslom
