This is the first partnership for Plate IQ, and is led by its card product, launched last month.

In a promotional offer, 1-800Accountant customers will have access to the Plate IQ Card platform for 90 days. They will be issued one physical card and unlimited virtual cards.

Plate IQ CEO and co-founder Bhavuk Kaul said: “We are thrilled to provide 1-800Accountant’s customers with the first corporate card program tailored to their unique needs. For too long, these customers have been locked out of corporate card programs with stringent requirements and unwieldy technology.

“This partnership aligns our teams around a shared goal: to give every small business a user-friendly way to control business spending.”

1-800Accountant chief revenue officer Brendon Pack said: “This partnership is an opportunity for our customers to leverage a powerful new innovation in fintech: enterprise-grade spend controls and corporate card programs in a product designed for small and medium-sized businesses.”
