What does Fortnox include for expenses?

• Kvitto & Utlägg: photograph receipts in the Fortnox App; date, amount and VAT are filled in.
• Two paths: own money goes to Fortnox Lön, company money goes to Bokföring.
• Fortnox Företagskort: a Visa credit card with per-employee limits.
• Kvittotolk: receipt reading that suggests how to code.
• Bank matching: automatic matching of statement lines from connected banks.

What if your cards are not Fortnox cards?

Fortnox's smoothest path assumes the Företagskort. Companies that keep cards from their own bank still get receipt reading in Kvitto & Utlägg, but pay per receipt and connect the card spend to the statement through bank matching.

Where does that leave work for finance?

• Proposed entries to review, with coding suggested from the receipt, not your history.
• Per-receipt cost without the Fortnox card.
• Cost centre and project chosen by the submitter.

When is a separate tool worth it?

When you keep your own bank's cards, or when project and cost centre coding matters more than capturing the receipt. 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. Vergo connects directly through the public Fortnox API and records coded card spend as vouchers, with account, VAT, cost centre and project.

How Vergo works alongside Fortnox

Fortnox stays your bookkeeping and payroll. Employees handle everything by text message — no app to download, no portal login — and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Card spend, employee reimbursements and AP invoices run through one coding model — same coding, same review, one reconciliation — and payment stays on the rails you already use.
