Turn your accounting team into a strategic asset.

Airbase, Spend Matters, and Finix join forces to discuss the many ways finance teams — and their companies — can benefit from advances in accounting automation.

About this webinar.

The benefits of accounting automation have been clear since the first GL software hit the market several decades ago. Since then, other aspects of the accounting process have been automated, from FP&A to expense management, from payroll to accounts receivable.

But a new wave of automation using cloud-based software and APIs for integrations is creating tools that are both collaborative and interconnected. As a result of these advances, some areas like accounts payable benefit from consolidating several previously siloed functions into one comprehensive platform. These new solutions make accounting teams more efficient with less manual work, fewer errors, and better audit trails.

Using the case of spend management, we will talk to Xavier Olivera, Analyst at Spend Matters, on how modern finance teams are leveraging these cloud-based automation tools to scale. Dennis Fang, Staff Accountant at Finix, supported the company’s rapid growth with just a few accounting team members handling all transactions. He’ll discuss how Finix streamlined AP processes and improved visibility and control over all non-payroll spend — an essential element to supporting remote teams.
