“I want to thank Katherine Edenbach for the work she has done to date shaping Emburse’s finance and accounting functions. Her dedication to our team and Emburse adds strength and depth as we focus on humanizing work by automating manual tasks and saving users’ time.”

Carpenter will provide expert financial leadership in the next phase of Emburse’s growth, as it challenges legacy vendors and capitalizes on the demand for modern spend management solutions. In the past year, Emburse has achieved double-digit organic growth, expanded to more than 16,000 customers, made several acquisitions and introduced new analytics, audit and payments products. The company now processes more than $60 billion per year in employee expenses and invoices on its platform.
