Three years and several product launches later, the Y Combinator-backed platform has added payroll to a suite that already covers corporate cards, expense management, vendor payments, tax management, and multi-currency operations. We spoke to both founders about what payroll reveals about the problem Bujeti is actually solving, and what it takes to build a Finance Control Centre from scratch on a continent where the infrastructure is still catching up.
