David Barrett’s Experience

Founder
Expensify
(Internet industry)
May 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Expensify uses electronic payment cards to enable one-click expense reports. You give us your personal or corporate card, and we mail you a physical plastic MasterCard that works everywhere in the world. However, every purchase with our card is billed immediately to your card so you keep your frequent flier miles and don't have a monthly bill. Upload receipts from email/iPhone/cameraphone, print out or download expense reports, or submit online for instant reimbursement from your employer's credit card or bank account.
