Nexus, the expense platform from Pillar Expenses

From receipt to ledger, without the chase.

Nexus captures every receipt, routes approvals to the right person, checks each expense against your policy, and posts clean entries to your accounting system. Finance closes faster. Employees stop waiting to get paid back.

The platform

Everything between the swipe and the close.

Expenses stop living in inboxes and spreadsheets. Nexus handles the whole lifecycle in one place your accountant will trust.

Take the tour

  • Receipt capture

    Snap a photo, forward an email, or let the mobile app do it. Nexus reads the merchant, date, amount, and tax, then matches the receipt to the card transaction.

  • Approval routing

    Each expense goes to the right approver based on team, amount, and category. Managers approve from Slack, email, or the app in one tap.

  • Policy checks

    Set limits by category, role, or trip. Anything outside policy is flagged with the reason before it ever reaches an approver.

  • Reimbursements

    Employees are paid by direct deposit on the schedule you choose, in their own currency, with a clear record of what was paid and when.

  • Accounting sync

    Approved expenses post to QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or Sage with the right GL code, class, and tax treatment. No re-keying.

  • Audit trail

    Every change is logged with who, when, and why. Export the full history for your auditors in one click.

How it works

Three steps from spend to close.

The same path for every expense, whether it was paid on a company card or out of pocket.

Capture

Employees pay with a company card or their own. Receipts come in by photo, email, or the mobile app, and Nexus matches each one to its transaction.

Approve

Nexus checks the expense against your policy and routes it. Managers approve in one tap. Exceptions arrive with the reason and the context to decide.

Close

Approved expenses post to your ledger with the right coding. Reimbursements go out on schedule, and the month closes without a reconciliation marathon.

Time calculator

How much time do expenses take today?

Move the sliders to your numbers. This is plain arithmetic on what you enter, nothing more.

Time spent on expenses
144hours a month

That is 720 expenses and about 18 working days of admin every month, spread across your company.

Nexus does the reading, matching, routing, and coding in that list. People are left with a photo and a tap.

Month-end used to be a week of chasing receipts and re-keying entries. Now the books are already coded when I open them, and my team spends the time on the analysis we were hired for.

Solutions

Built for every side of the expense.

Three groups touch every expense. Nexus gives each of them less to do.

Finance teams

See spend as it happens instead of at month-end. Close with entries that are already coded, matched, and approved, and hand auditors a complete trail.

See the close

Managers

Approve from wherever you work, with the receipt and the policy check in front of you. Decline with a reason in one tap, and never dig through email for context.

Employees

Snap a receipt and move on. Know exactly where each expense stands, and get paid back by direct deposit on a schedule you can count on.

Integrations

Works with the tools your company already runs on.

Accounting, cards, chat, identity, and payroll. Entries land where your team expects them, and approvals happen where managers already are.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Nexus work with the corporate cards we already have?
Yes. Connect your existing cards and Nexus matches each transaction to its receipt automatically. Employees can also submit out-of-pocket expenses for reimbursement.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most teams are live within a week. Connect your accounting system, import your chart of accounts and cost centers, set your policy, and invite employees.
Can employees submit expenses from their phone?
Yes. The Nexus mobile app captures receipts with the camera and reads the details automatically. Employees can also forward emailed receipts to their Nexus inbox.
What happens when an expense is outside policy?
Nexus flags it with the specific rule it broke and asks the employee for context before it reaches the approver. Approvers can still approve with a note, and every exception is recorded in the audit log.
Which accounting systems does Nexus sync with?
QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct, with more on the way. Entries post with the GL code, class, department, and tax treatment you set.
Can we try it before we commit?
Yes. Book a demo and we will set up a trial workspace using a sample of your own expenses, so you can see exactly how Nexus would handle them.
