Mercury StrawberryGet a quarter of vendor spend without touching a CSV
“Everything we paid cloud and data vendors between April and June, by counterparty” comes back as totals with the transactions under each line. The integration ships no transfer tool.
Somebody asks what you spent on infrastructure last quarter. The answer sits in a few hundred transactions across two accounts, and reaching it costs an export, a spreadsheet, a column of category guesses and forty minutes.
A companion reads every one of them and hands back the totals with the transactions underneath. Balances, transactions filtered by window, status or search term, cards, saved recipients and statements all read. Nothing in it moves money.
| Mercury’s dashboard and export | A Strawberry companion | |
|---|---|---|
| Balances across accounts | Yes, at a glance | Read natively, quotable in a doc |
| Filtering transactions by vendor and window | Yes, then export to CSV | Grouped and totalled, each transaction linked |
| Moving money or paying a vendor | Yes, with your bank-level controls | Stays in Mercury: the integration ships no payment tool |
| Assembling a quarterly spend summary | You build the spreadsheet | Drafted with sources, on a schedule if you want it |
| Pulling in what the vendor is worth renewing | Out of scope | Yes. It browses the live web in the same pass |
Group last quarter’s spend by vendor
One instruction.
The companion filters the transactions to the window, groups them by counterparty, and hands back totals with the individual transactions under each line.
A total with its transactions attached is something you can check in ten seconds and then quote for the rest of the meeting.
Why is the Mercury integration read-only?
Because no payment tool was built into it.
An agent that reads a balance and gets it wrong wastes a minute. One that sends a payment and gets it wrong has done something irreversible to a counterparty.
So this is the calmest connection in your stack. It will not pay a vendor. It will tell you every Monday which transactions cleared over the weekend and to which recipient.
Where do the numbers land?
Wherever your team already reads.
The companion writes the summary into a Google Sheet, a Notion page or an Airtable table natively, transaction references intact.
Scheduled as a routine, the spend digest exists before the Monday meeting instead of during it, which is the recurring assembly that eats a finance or operations hire’s week. Before a renewal the same pass adds what it finds about the vendor on the live web, research that starts from your own ledger.
Runway arithmetic with every input shown
Runway, burn and category spend are arithmetic on transactions.
A companion does the arithmetic and lays out every input it used, so a board conversation gets evidence you can check in ten seconds. What the runway means is for you and your accountant.
A transaction with no counterparty name comes back as unlabelled rather than inferred from the amount, so you know exactly which rows to check before the deck goes out.
