How does Vergo work alongside Briq?
Briq is an operations platform — a financial planning and analysis layer for construction — and your books live in an accounting system next to it: QuickBooks, Sage, or another general ledger. Vergo handles expense management against that accounting system: it reads your GL accounts and coding structure, codes every transaction by AI inference from your own history, and posts clean entries where your books actually live. The two tools work on different problems. Briq is built to make sense of financial data once it exists; Vergo is built to make that data exist correctly in the first place — captured at the moment of purchase and coded to the right place in the ledger.
Why does the coding quality matter for an FP&A layer?
Any forecast built on the general ledger is only as good as the coding underneath it. When card transactions sit uncoded for weeks, or get filed to a generic cost bucket from the vendor name alone, job-level analysis inherits the noise. Vergo codes each transaction to the dimensions your accounting system already carries — jobs, cost codes, GL accounts, classes — by inference from how your team has coded similar purchases before, and shows the reasoning on every transaction so a reviewer confirms rather than re-codes. Cleaner, faster entries in the ledger mean the financial picture downstream reflects the work as it happens, not as it looked a month ago.
What does that mean day to day?
The workflow stays light for the people spending the money:
- Employees submit receipts by text message — no new app alongside Briq
- Every transaction is coded to your accounting structure automatically, with the reasoning shown
- Approvals run on your rules before anything posts
- Your accounting system stays the system of record, reconciled next to Briq
Do you have to change cards?
No. Vergo is card-agnostic — it connects to the corporate, fuel and personal cards your business already holds. A contractor mid-way through standing up an FP&A practice does not want to renegotiate its banking relationships to get expense automation, and with Vergo it does not have to: existing corporate cards, fuel card programs, and out-of-pocket reimbursable spend all flow through the same coding model.
Where does the general ledger fit between the two?
Your accounting system remains the single system of record. Vergo posts coded spend into it on the front end; analysis tools like Briq read from that same financial foundation. Because Vergo works against the accounting system rather than around it, there is no re-keying between spend capture and the books — the entry a controller approves is the entry the ledger carries, with the job and cost-code detail construction reporting depends on already attached.
Where should you go next?
Does Vergo integrate directly with Briq?
No — and it does not need to. Briq is an operations platform, not a general ledger. Vergo connects to the accounting system your books live in, which is where expense management belongs.
Which accounting systems does Vergo connect to?
Vergo integrates with every major ERP and accounting system, each with its own integration page setting out how the sync works.
Do we have to change cards?
No. Vergo works with the cards your business already has.
