Expense management that works with Briq

Key takeaways

• Vergo reads jobs and cost codes from Briq, codes every expense to the right job and cost code by inference from your accounting structure and history, and syncs coded entries back automatically.
• You keep the credit cards your business already holds — corporate cards, fuel cards, personal cards used for reimbursement — with no card applications or banking changes required.
• Card spend, employee reimbursements and AP invoices flow through one coding model and sync to Briq the same way, eliminating reconciliation headaches.
• Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen, before clearing, and sync into Briq once they clear.

How does the Briq sync work?

Vergo reads your jobs and cost codes from Briq, codes every expense to the right job and cost code, and pushes coded entries back so nothing arrives as an uncoded lump at month end. The structure that matters here is jobs and cost codes: the same structure you already run in Briq becomes the foundation for expense coding. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen, before waiting for clearing, and once they clear, they sync into Briq. The sync keeps your job costing current without manual data entry or batch imports.

Do you have to change cards?

No. Vergo does not issue cards and never asks you to switch. It connects to the cards your business already holds — corporate cards, fuel cards, personal cards used for reimbursement — and connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Card-agnostic infrastructure means the platform adapts to your banking relationships, not the other way around. Most expense tools force you into a proprietary card program; that creates onboarding friction, disrupts vendor payment relationships, and adds a switching cost if you ever leave the platform.

What is AI-native expense management for teams that do job costing?

Traditional rules engines match text patterns; when a transaction does not match, a person codes it by hand. AI-native expense management infers the right coding from your own accounting structure and transaction history — including jobs and cost codes — without requiring keyword lists or pattern libraries. New vendors are coded on first sight, and every proposed coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. For job costing teams, this means labor on the roof gets coded to the right project and cost type automatically, even if the vendor has never appeared before.

Who runs Briq?

Briq is run by mid-market companies in construction as an FP&A and project management layer. If your finance team lives in it, the expense layer should adapt to it — not the other way round. Construction workflows depend on accurate job costing: every transaction needs to land in the right project bucket so margin tracking, change order management, and forecasting reflect reality. The expense tool becomes part of the job costing workflow, not a separate system that requires manual reconciliation at month end.

Do reimbursements and AP invoices work with Briq too?

Yes. The same coding model handles card spend, employee reimbursements and AP invoices, and all three sync to Briq the same way. Most tools treat these as separate products with separate coding setups; the same vendor coded two different ways is a reconciliation problem you inherit. A single coding model means the same supplier gets the same job and cost code whether the transaction came from a corporate card, a field employee's out-of-pocket receipt, or an invoice in AP.

How Vergo handles this

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. 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. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen — no waiting for clearing — and once they clear, they sync into your accounting or ERP software. 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. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Vergo integrates with every ERP and accounting software, including Briq.
