We believe shared access is the key to unlocking team innovation. That’s why we built Papertree for groups to make financial decisions faster, and with more trust.
Rather than any one admin, give everyone on the team the ability to help execute financial decisions with their vote.
Once votes are in, the decision is recorded transparently and money is sent automatically - no extra work necessary.
