Account Management
First, we develop a Business Travel Account Analysis on our time and our dime.
With it, we better understand your company, its travel needs and how we can accommodate them.
Second, we develop and adhere to a customized Travel Process that achieves your travel and budget goals. An important process.
We don’t leave anything to chance.
Then, we execute and employ your End-to-End Audit Trail and Real-time Travel Scorecard.
With this insight, your company can monitor travel policy, exception management, and provide any necessary, comprehensive reporting.

NEED TO KNOW: ACCOUNTABILITY
A business can’t run without it. And as a client of Safe Harbors Business Travel, Travel Expense Reporting, Audit Trails and Travel Benchmarking becomes infinitely easier.
The effects of ever-tightening accounting rules, tax code changes and legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) are impacting even mid-size, privately companies. Travel is often one of the largest controllable expenses. Unless kept in check, it also offers many opportunities for discrepancies. Accountability is crucial, and the days of operating without clear policies in place for spending and reporting travel are over. Safe Harbors can help your management closely track how much is being spent on travel and where it is being spent.
END-TO-END TRAVEL AUDIT TRAIL
