Perk Returns to FATE 2026 to Take on the ‘Shadow Work’ Slowing Finance Teams Down

Returning Platinum Exhibitor brings a broader travel and spend story to the Finance & Accounting Technology Expo.

We’re thrilled to return to the Finance and Accounting Technology Expo to connect with world class finance and business leaders.”

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The work that slows finance teams down isn’t always the work that shows up in a job description.

Chasing receipts. Filing expenses. Tracking down invoices. Manually enforcing spend policies. Perk calls it “shadow work”—the behind-the-scenes administrative tasks that consume time finance teams could be putting toward higher-value priorities.

This November, Perk returns to the Finance & Accounting Technology Expo (FATE) as a Platinum Exhibitor, bringing that conversation directly to the finance leaders working to modernize how their organizations manage travel, expenses, and company spend.

Perk’s return comes as the company expands its focus on the connection between travel and finance. Its platform brings travel, expenses, spend, and policy management together, using automation and AI to handle many of the manual processes that traditionally sit between employees and finance teams.

“We’re thrilled to return to the Finance and Accounting Technology Expo to connect with world class finance and business leaders. Since our inception, we’ve known that travel and finance are deeply connected, and we’ve spent a decade tackling the manual tasks that pull finance teams away from higher-value work – filing expenses, chasing invoices, enforcing spend policies by hand. We call this shadow work, the hidden manual tasks that quietly eat up hours of our work day. With the recent US launch of Perk Spend, our new fintech product, we’re taking direct aim at that problem, giving finance teams one seamless way to manage travel, expense and company spend.” — Stuart Blake, VP of Revenue NAM, Perk

That focus fits squarely into the conversations happening at FATE 2026. As finance leaders evaluate AI and automation, the opportunity isn’t simply to add more technology, it’s to identify where manual work persists, understand how systems connect, and determine which workflows can be made more efficient without sacrificing visibility or control.

On the FATE expo floor, attendees will be able to connect directly with the Perk team and see the technology in action.

FATE 2026 takes place November 18–19, 2026, at the Javits Center in New York City. To learn more or register to attend, visit https://financeaccountingtech.com/expo/
