How to control business expenses with approval tiers and automation

Controlling business expenses with approval tiers means setting clear limits on who can authorize how much — and automating the approval workflow so no payment leaves without the right validation. Jestor lets you configure this control without code, integrated directly with Omie or Conta Azul.

Why does expense control fail at SMBs?

Most companies have spending policies on paper. The problem is execution: without an automated workflow, approvals happen via WhatsApp, limits aren't enforced, and finance only discovers issues at month-end close.

Real expense control requires process, not just policy.

Common mistakes in expense control without structured tiers

Payments approved by people without authority for that amount
No record of justification for each expense
Wrong cost center due to lack of validation at the time of request
Finance rework to correct ERP entries after informal approval
Inability to audit who authorized what and when
