Start here

A workspace is your company’s books. Your own stay where they are.

Everybody who signs up gets a personal account for their own money. A workspace is a second, separate set of books that you create on top of it and invite people into. Same login, same app, two ledgers that never see each other.

That matters because the people in your company already have their own expenses. They should not need a second account to file a client dinner, and you should never be able to see what they spent on a Saturday.

The company’s books

  • Everyone’s work expenses, in one ledger
  • Roles, approval rules and cost centres
  • Corporate cards and their limits
  • Eighteen widgets, eight of them company-only

Switching is a menu

Not a second login, not a different app. A person moves between their own vault and the workspaces they belong to from the same place they change any other setting — and each keeps its own dashboard layout.

Bills know where to land

You nominate which books a forwarded receipt files into, so a client lunch goes to the company and a personal invoice does not — regardless of which one happens to be open when it arrives.

One person, many workspaces

A bookkeeper can hold the books of four companies from one account, seeing each one only as far as their role there allows. A founder can run two. Nothing has to be duplicated to be separate.

Who can do what

Five roles, set when you invite somebody and changeable afterwards. Owner and admin run the workspace and its rules. A manager approves for their people. A member files their own expenses and sees their own. A bookkeeper reads the books without being able to change them — which is the role your accountant wants, and the one most tools make you hand over an admin login for.

Outlay Enterprise

Rules do the approving.
People handle the exceptions.

Rules you write once decide what needs a person and what does not. Everything else lands filed, coded to a cost centre, and waiting for nobody.

Expanded Policy & Rules Engine

Move beyond hardcoded limits. Admins can now create dynamic conditional rules (e.g., "Flag all Meals over ₹2000" or "Flag all expenses from Uber") to enforce corporate policy at the point of sale.

Cost Centers & GL

Name your cost centres and give each one the code your accounting software already uses. A bill picks one up when it is filed, not in a reconciliation three weeks later.

It learns your categories

Extraction is told the categories your company actually uses, so bills are filed into your heads of account rather than into a generic list you then have to remap.

Hierarchical Approvals

Assign managers to employees. Approvals now escalate up the corporate chain automatically, complete with mandatory rejection logging.

Five roles, and what each can see

Owner, admin, manager, member and bookkeeper. The role decides what somebody can open and approve, so a manager cannot reach the company-wide numbers by being sent a link.

What you owe, and what broke policy

Two widgets on the company board: what the company owes people back, and what tripped a rule. Both come from the same Reimbursements owed and Out of policy queue.

Approvals that do not need a meeting

Roles, not trust

Owner, admin, bookkeeper, manager, member. What somebody can see and approve follows from their role rather than from who set the account up.

One queue

Everything waiting on a decision sits in one place with the reason it stopped — over a cap, no receipt, a possible duplicate. Approve or reject, and it moves.

Workspaces

A person keeps their own vault and their company’s books in one account, and the two never mix. Switching is a menu, not a second login.

Input tax credit

Most of the GST a company can claim back is lost on the way to the return

Not because anyone decided to forgo it. It goes because the invoice was a photo in a WhatsApp thread, because the tax was never split out of the total, or because it surfaced three weeks after the filing. The credit was always yours; the paperwork just did not arrive in time to prove it.

The tax comes off every bill, on the way in

CGST, SGST and IGST are read off the document and stored as their own figures, not left inside a total for somebody to unpick later. A bill filed in March is already in the shape a return wants in April.

Nothing waits for a monthly round-up

An expense is filed when it happens, by whoever spent the money, from wherever they are. The reason claims go missing is that they are collected at the end of the month from people who have moved on to other things.

Coded before anyone reconciles

Every bill picks up a cost centre as it is filed, and each cost centre carries the code your accounting software already uses. The ledger splits the way finance reads it without a mapping exercise at quarter end.

A gap you can explain

When a receipt is genuinely gone, the person who spent the money says so on the record, with what it was for. Your books carry a declaration rather than a hole nobody can account for during an audit.

The company board

Everyone gets their own board. Nobody gets everyone else’s numbers.

Eighteen widgets, and the layout belongs to the person, not the company. Your finance lead builds one board, a department manager builds another, and neither is looking at a report somebody else decided they should see.

Assembled, not configured

Add from the gallery, drag into the order you read in, drop what you never open. No query to write, no field to map, no model to build first — the bills are already read, so every widget knows where its numbers come from.

Scoped by role, not by trust

A manager sees their team, an owner sees the company, a bookkeeper sees the books. The gallery, the saved layout and the data behind each widget are all checked against the same list, so a widget cannot be reached by asking for it directly.

Both sets of books, one login

The same person keeps a personal vault and a company workspace. Company widgets never appear in the personal one, and the two boards are saved apart — switching is a menu, not a second account.

Eight that only make sense with a team

Each answers something a finance lead is already being asked in a meeting.

Reimbursements owed

What does the company currently owe its own people, before somebody asks in a standup?

Out of policy

What got through that broke a rule, and which rule — over a cap, wrong category, no receipt?

Approval queue age

How long has the oldest thing been sitting there, waiting on a person who has forgotten?

Approval cycle time

How long does a claim actually take from filed to decided, on average, this month?

Department spend

Which cost centre is carrying the month, and which one has quietly doubled?

Top spenders

Who is spending, ranked — useful for a budget conversation, not for suspicion.

Card utilisation

How much of each card’s monthly limit is gone, while there is still time to move it?

Vendor concentration

How much of the spend goes to one supplier, and how exposed does that make you?

Plus the ten every account gets — spend vs budget, six-month trend, tax reclaimable, recurring, and the rest.

Reimbursements owed

Money your own people are out of pocket for

When somebody pays for a client dinner on their own card, the company owes them from that moment — not from whenever the claim is processed. That figure is on the board as a running total rather than a surprise at the end of the month.

  • Approved but unpaid is its own state. A claim that has been signed off and not yet reimbursed is a liability, and it is counted as one.
  • Per person, not just a total. You can see who has been waiting longest, which is usually the more useful half of the number.
  • Nobody has to ask. The most common reason a reimbursement is late is that the person felt awkward chasing it.

Out-of-policy flags

Caught when it is filed, not found in a review

Your rules run the moment a bill arrives. Something over a cap, in a category you watch, or above the amount where a receipt stops being optional is marked then and there — with the rule it broke attached, so the conversation is about the policy rather than about the person.

  • Three things a rule can do. Approve it and get out of the way, hold it for a person, or refuse it outright. Most spending should meet the first.
  • Priority order, so rules can overlap. A general cap and a specific exception can both exist without arguing; the higher-priority one decides.
  • Flagged, never hidden. An out-of-policy bill stays visible with its reason. Quietly dropping it is how the same thing happens again next month.

Closing a month, without the chase

Spend without a receipt

Every card debit is matched against the bills filed for it. Whatever is unmatched is the list you actually have to chase, and it is a number rather than a feeling.

A declaration, not a gap

When a receipt is genuinely gone, the person says so on the record with what it was and why. Your books carry an explanation instead of a hole nobody remembers.

The books, in your Drive

Documents back up to a Google Drive folder your company owns, and the ledger exports whenever your accountant asks. Nothing about leaving us should be difficult.
