Ledger Brief Take

Takes the opposite approach from traditional expense tools by eliminating reports entirely — employees snap receipts as they spend, managers approve on mobile, and reimbursements hit accounts within days. The real-time workflow prevents the usual month-end scramble, though it requires buy-in from both employees and managers to maintain the continuous approval cadence.
