Recurring Spend Guard
A finance ops tool that finds duplicate, unused, or unexpectedly renewed subscriptions before small teams waste money.

Teams regularly lose track of subscriptions and renewals, especially when purchases happen across departments and card statements are messy.
Proposed solution
Connect cards and accounting data, detect recurring charges, classify usage risk, and generate cancel/downgrade workflows with owner assignment.
