Finance teams

Finance teams: controllership, close and evidence

Controllership view of a Brex stack: close calendar, reconciliation, audit evidence and system-of-record decisions.

Key takeaways

  • Finance cares about completeness and evidence, not about another dashboard.
  • The ledger remains the system of record unless you decide otherwise in writing.
  • Exception queues beat inbox archaeology.

Close calendar

Name the owner of receipts, coding, AP cut-off, accruals and card reconciliation. A Brex Card feed does not close the books by itself. Pair this page with the close checklist.

Reconciliation

Match settled transactions, pending authorisations, credits and fee lines. Know how refunds recode. Unmatched items should have an ageing, not a hope.

Audit evidence

Keep who-changed-what, receipts on the entry, and policy exception logs. Ratings and “AI match percentages” are not evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Almost, if cards are issued widely and out-of-pocket cases are rare. Do not ban legitimate exceptions; they will go underground.
