About the company

Outlay is a Danish fintech company that streamlines expense management for businesses of all sizes. With a mobile app and cloud-platform, Outlay enables users to snap receipt photos, approve expenses in real time, integrate with accounting systems, and gain a full visual overview of spending. By eliminating manual workflows and paper clutter, Outlay empowers organisations to reclaim time, reduce error and focus on growth.

Why we founded

We founded Outlay in response to a familiar frustration: the expense process had become a drag on both finance teams and employees. We believed modern companies deserve tools that work as seamlessly as they think. Outlay was born from a vision of simple, transparent and integrated expense workflows — where receipts, approvals and reporting align in one fluid system. The goal was never just automation; it was about enabling smarter finance, better decision-making and calmer operations.

Outlay grew out of our first internal project at Shape, a simple expense app called Expenditure. It evolved into a full expense management platform integrated with bookkeeping and approval systems. As it scaled, it became clear that Outlay needed a new home, and Keepers was the perfect match.
