An approval tier is the process that defines authorization limits by value, role, or department — ensuring each financial decision is made by the right person. With Jestor, you can implement this control without code, integrated with your company's ERP.

## What does "approval tier" mean?

A tier is the decision-making authority each person holds within a hierarchy. A manager can approve up to $10K; a director up to $100K; above that it goes to C-level.

Without structured tiers, that control exists only on paper — and in practice, anyone approves anything.

## Why approval tiers are essential for SMBs

- Prevents improper payments approved by unauthorized parties
- Ensures traceability and compliance in expenses
- Reduces approval time by automatically routing to the right responsible party
- Eliminates bottlenecks created by centralized single-approver models
- Prepares the company for audits and organized growth
