Accounting Seed AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In Accounting Seed? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Yes | Bank Direct Connect pulls transactions from connected accounts through Plaid, Salt Edge (UK) or Yodlee, with Bank Rules (up to 100 active) to categorize them; any provider cost is not stated. |
| Credit card feeds | Yes | Bank Direct Connect supports credit card accounts, recording card purchases as credits to the card liability and card payments as debits; Accounting Seed also describes uploading monthly card transactions as an itemized payable to the card vendor. |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Yes | AP Automation includes AI Invoice Capture (PDF, image and spreadsheet invoices, uploaded or emailed, become payable records with predicted GL accounts), payable approvals and vendor payments via a payments processor. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | Partly | Receipts are scanned or photographed and attached to the expense report through Salesforce Notes & Files; Accounting Seed's docs do not describe receipt OCR or a dedicated mobile expense app. |
| Expense claim approvals | Yes | Native Expense Reports and Expense Lines (tied to project and project task, with mileage) are submitted for approval; approved reports generate payables to the employee or the credit card vendor, or billings for billable lines. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | Yes | Payable records carry tracked approvals and expense reports/time cards are submitted for approval; approval routing is configured with Salesforce approval processes on the Accounting Seed records. |

Where Vergo fits with Accounting Seed
Vergo integrates with Accounting Seed and posts coded card spend into it; for Accounting Seed, the live integration covers expense management. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Vergo proposes the coding by inference from your own accounting structure and history — no rule library to build, no keyword lists to maintain, and new vendors are coded on first sight. The proposal covers the GL account, GL Variables and project, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account, by amount, or by project — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.
