The end of manual expense reporting: What 2026 looks like for finance teams

Manual expense reporting is quickly becoming obsolete. In 2026, finance teams rely on real-time visibility, automated controls, and AI-driven processes instead of outdated reporting workflows. This shift is not just about saving time — it’s about gaining control before spending happens, not after.

Transforming workplace spending at Victory

Victory are a leading manufacturer of holiday homes and lodges employing more than 350 people in design, servicing, sales, and more, with clients across the UK and EU. All employees need to make reactive purchases to buy goods and services for work. 
 

Before, expenses were handled manually with paper receipts and excel based expense forms, with emails to managers for approval. It was time-consuming and put a strain on the finance team who spent hours processing claims each month. With accountabl, Victory removed manual claims, reduced paper, and could analyse all their expenses in a single place.
 

The finance team now collate, analyse, and post a single invoice per month, users can submit receipts at the point of purchase, while managers can approve on the go via the app. Reducing the burden on operational and finance workers. 

“Accountabl has completely transformed the way we manage staff spending. It was a big change, but the accountabl team are very supportive. We wouldn’t dream of going back to the days of floats and petty cash.”
