$140M added in ARR in 90 days, where do I invest? 500 hours a month reviewing expenses. Down to just a few. That’s what Vanessa at Deel says she achieved with Akai. The part that caught my attention is how she built it: she recorded her screen and talked through an expense review. Open the receipt. Check the country. Pull up the local rules. Review. Akai turned that into a workflow, picking up details she hadn’t explicitly documented. Things like checking jurisdiction first, or splitting a submission with multiple receipts into separate checks. Her teammates can add local context directly into the workflow, and cases that need a person still go to a person. Expense review is painfully boring. Getting those hours back is pretty compelling. Deel built Akai for its own back office. Now other teams can use it too. For companies with over 100 employees, Deel guarantees 1,000 hours saved in the first 30 days or a full refund.
