If you want to understand how broken expense management really is in the United Kingdom, don't look at the boardroom; look at the tradespeople who keep the country running. Electricians, plumbers, builders, solar installers, and decorators. They are the backbone of our economy, yet they are still expected to navigate finance as if it were the 1990s. Paper receipts, shoebox accounting, and out-of-pocket purchases will not be reimbursed until the next blue moon. We have normalised this, but we should not, because it is costing tradespeople and the businesses that rely on them billions. There is a quiet crisis happening. Most tradespeople did not choose their profession so they could spend their evenings reconciling expenses. Ask any builder or sparkie when they last filed their receipts on time, and they will probably laugh. Imagine a system where expenses are created automatically the moment a tradesperson taps their card at Toolstation or Screwfix. Mileage is tracked in the background based on job site check-ins. VAT is categorised instantly at the point of purchase rather than three months later in the early hours of the morning.
