Teampay delivers an all-in-one purchasing and spend management platform designed to streamline corporate expenditures. The platform offers automated spend control, proactive approval workflows integrated with communication tools, and real-time visibility into financial activity. Its technical approach emphasizes efficiency by automating tasks like AP approvals, managing corporate credit cards, and integrating with accounting systems, providing comprehensive spend analytics for finance teams.
The company was founded in 2016 by Andrew Hoag. Hoag initiated Teampay after identifying significant inefficiencies and the outdated nature of legacy corporate spending and expense management systems. His vision was to create a modern solution that empowered employees with smart spending while providing finance departments with necessary control and transparency.
Teampay’s product primarily serves finance and accounting teams within high-growth organizations, though it caters to businesses of various sizes. The company’s overarching vision, now operating within the Paystand ecosystem, is to enable a complete financial suite by offering seamless, automated, and user-friendly spend processes. This aims to foster greater financial control and operational efficiency for its customers.

Teampay is an all-in-one spend management platform designed for modern, tech-enabled businesses, streamlining purchasing, approvals, payments, and reconciliation to eliminate manual expense processes.[1][2][3][4] It serves finance teams, managers, and employees in growing companies—particularly high-growth tech firms—by solving fragmented spend tracking, overspending, lost receipts, and delayed approvals through virtual cards with budgets, automated workflows, real-time dashboards, and ERP integrations.[1][2][3][4] With 51-200 employees and $21 million in total funding (including a 2020 Series A led by Fin Venture Capital), Teampay demonstrates strong growth momentum, now operating as a division of Paystand while powering efficient spend for scaling organizations.[1][5][6]
Teampay emerged from the challenges of rapid growth in high-growth companies, where spikes in purchasing, invoicing, and payments overwhelm traditional finance processes.[5] Founder Hoag identified the need for a simple, employee-friendly system to enable compliant, efficient spending without card sharing or manual reconciliation, leading him to build Teampay as a single-founder startup focused on procurement workflows.[5] Officially established shortly after, it gained early traction by automating requests-to-reports, growing to 60-75 full-time employees and securing $21 million in funding by 2020, with backers like Crosscut, Tribe, and Precursor.[5] By 2025, it integrated as a division of Paystand, expanding its fintech capabilities while maintaining its core mission.[6][8]
Teampay stands out in spend management through proactive controls and employee empowerment:
Teampay rides the fintech wave in spend management, capitalizing on the shift from legacy expense tools to automated, real-time platforms amid remote/hybrid work and hyper-growth in tech startups.[1][3][5] Timing aligns with post-pandemic scaling demands, where finance teams face 10x spend surges; market forces like rising operational costs and regulatory compliance favor its controls and integrations.[5] It influences the ecosystem by enabling faster decisions for high-growth firms (e.g., Zumper), reducing finance bottlenecks, and promoting data-driven optimization in a $100B+ procurement software market.[2][5]
Teampay's trajectory points to deeper Paystand synergies, expanding into global payments and AI-driven spend predictions amid rising demand for embedded finance.[6][8] Trends like zero-touch automation and multi-entity scaling will propel it, potentially unlocking enterprise deals as economic pressures demand cost controls. Its influence may evolve from startup specialist to broad fintech leader, empowering more businesses to "spend smarter" in volatile markets—echoing its founding promise of efficiency over chaos.[3][5]
