Field spend belongs on the job
When a crew travels to a job, the lodging, mileage, and daily per-diem are real job costs. Left on a personal card and reimbursed weeks later, they land in overhead and never touch the job margin they belong to. Fintra reimburses travel, lodging, and per-diem on the same real expense engine that runs the rest of the business, coded to the job, so the cost of sending a crew out of town shows up where it actually happened.
What per-diem and travel reimbursement does
- Reimburses lodging, mileage, and travel on the live expense engine
- Codes field spend to the job and cost code, not overhead
- Captures receipts and runs them through policy and approval
- Applies per-diem daily rates by location: policy specifics in build
- Seals each reimbursement to the evidence ledger like any money move
One governed loop from receipt to sealed dollar
Because reimbursement rides the Fintra ledger, a crew’s travel cost posts to job cost against the right code, flows into WIP and the job margin, and is governed and sealed like every other dollar-moving action. The same governance that decides a vendor payment decides a reimbursement (policy checked, approved, and written to the recomputable evidence ledger) so field spend is controlled and provable, not a pile of receipts reconciled at closeout.
Where this is today
Questions people ask
How does Fintra handle construction per-diem and travel?
It reimburses lodging, mileage, travel, and per-diem on its live expense-management engine, capturing receipts, running policy and approval, and coding the spend to the job rather than overhead, with each reimbursement sealed to the evidence ledger.
Is this live today?
Yes for the core: the expense-management engine that reimburses travel and lodging, checks policy, and seals reimbursements is live in Fintra today. The construction-specific per-diem policy layer, such as daily rates by location, is in build on top of it.
Why code field spend to the job?
Because travel, lodging, and per-diem for an out-of-town crew are real job costs. Coding them to the job means the margin reflects the true cost of the work instead of burying it in overhead.
Is reimbursement governed?
Yes. A reimbursement runs through the same governance as any money move (policy checked, approved, and sealed to the recomputable evidence ledger) so field spend is controlled and provable.
