Expense Management Practices

Growing businesses have unique concerns when it comes to expense management. To better understand the concerns and challenges facing businesses like yours, American Express sponsors annual research surveys in partnership with CFO Research Services. We seek to understand the needs of our customers so we can provide services and tools to help you better manage business expenses.

According to our survey results, mid-size companies most commonly cite the following practices as key components of effective expense management:
  • Expense tracking
  • Implementation of technology
  • Policy compliance
  • Consolidated payment methods
  • Vendor management
The American Express® Corporate Card program can play a critical role in helping you implement these best practices and achieve your business goals. We also can provide resources to help you benchmark your programs and policies against your peers and learn about best practices that have contributed to strong business results for other firms.
