Case Study: Instawork Cuts Close Time in Half with Airbase

Why an experienced auditor enjoys Airbase

Instawork, a flexible staffing marketplace for local hourly professionals, needed to become audit-ready while improving its finance operations. Controller Steve Lamping prioritized closing on time and producing monthly financial reports, and the team also wanted to clean up sporadic bill payment processes and reduce the burden of managing reimbursements. Instawork used Airbase, a spend management platform, along with its NetSuite integration to help centralize these workflows.

Airbase helped Instawork streamline bill payments, reimbursements, corporate card management, and reporting in one platform. The company cut approval time for spend in half, improved invoice handling with OCR and an invoice inbox, and made reimbursements easier for nearly 300 employees. With Airbase, Instawork closed on time, created monthly financial reports, and kept its finance team focused on audit readiness and operational efficiency.
