Corporate Traveller Launches Travel and Expense Management System

Corporate Traveller has teamed up with Float Financial to tackle one of the biggest pain points for SME (Small to Mid-sized Enterprises) growing businesses: managing travel payments and expenses. The new integration automates the entire process, from booking to reconciliation to reporting, giving finance teams real-time visibility and control over spend.

A recent Corporate Traveller survey conducted by YouGov found that 40% of Canadian SMEs expect to spend more on business travel this year, highlighting the demand for smarter, more efficient tools.

Through the integration, when employees book flights, hotels, or car rentals via Corporate Traveller and pay with a Float card, booking and payment details are instantly matched. Expenses are coded and pushed directly into the company’s finance system, eliminating the need for receipts or manual reconciliation. For travellers, that means fewer expense reports; for managers, streamlined reporting; and for finance teams, a faster, smoother month-end close.

“Business travel demand is growing and so is the pressure on finance teams to track spend accurately and efficiently,” says Chris Lynes, Managing Director at Flight Centre Travel Group, parent company of Corporate Traveller. “Now, with the integration of Float, we’re delivering a uniquely Canadian, modern solution that combines seamless booking with automated payment and expense management.” 

The integration delivers clear benefits for SMEs: travel booked through Corporate Traveller and paid with Float cards is automatically tracked and reconciled in one system, saving finance teams hours of manual work. Real-time reporting provides stronger oversight, with seamless integration into accounting platforms like QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite. Designed in Canada and available in both English and French, the solution is fully aligned with Canadian systems and regulations.

“As someone often on the road for work, I know how much time gets wasted managing travel expenses. This partnership gives that time back to both Canadian employees and businesses by automating everything from booking to reconciliation,” says Andrew Dale, COO of Float.

“It’s part of our broader vision to fully automate transactions across our platform and save companies thousands of hours.”
