Case Study: Hourly achieves rapid reconciliation and flexible, secure card management with Brex

Saving time for the time saving experts

Hourly, a Palo Alto startup founded in 2018 that simplifies time tracking, payroll, and workers' comp for small businesses, struggled with cumbersome card issuance and slow expense reconciliation. Co‑founder and CEO Tom Sagi needed a credit card and expense management platform that integrated smoothly with legacy systems, so Hourly switched to Brex and its employee and virtual card features (with QuickBooks integration).

Brex issued individual physical and virtual cards, enabled manager-level spend limits, and allowed instant card cancellation and easy integration, removing the reconciliation headaches Hourly had with its previous bank. As a result, monthly reconciliation that used to take hours now takes minutes, trials and vendor accounts can be managed without disrupting other autopayments, and Hourly has saved significant time and reduced fraud risk thanks to Brex.
