Where Vergo fits with QuickFile
Vergo adds approvals on the spend before it reaches QuickFile. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account or by amount — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule. Approved card spend posts into QuickFile, coded to your nominal code.
