Budgetly is an Australian spend management company that builds AI-driven tools for businesses to control and track company expenditure. Its core platform combines prepaid corporate cards with configurable spending rules, automated expense tracking, and real-time budget management. The product integrates directly with Xero, enabling finance teams to manage expense workflows without manual reconciliation or receipt-chasing.

The technical stack centres on AI-driven spend management, prepaid card issuance and management, payments and expense workflows, and accounting software integration. Engineers and product teams work across these domains to build tools that give finance teams real-time visibility into company spend while reducing manual overhead for employees making purchases.
Budgetly operates as a fully remote company across Australia, hiring regardless of location within the country. It describes itself as Australia's first inclusive-growth startup, with 25% of the company held in employee ownership. The stated values are trust, respect, ownership, and collaboration, with an explicit preference for a culture of trust over top-down control.
