Case Study: Spiral Therapeutics achieves time savings that speed up science with Brex

Spiral Therapeutics - Customer Case Study

Spiral Therapeutics, a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapies for hearing loss, struggled with a slow, manual purchasing process that funneled all buying through a single personally-guaranteed corporate card, tying up scientists and finance time. VP of Finance and Operations Nik Talreja sought a faster, no-personal-guarantee solution and chose Brex’s corporate cards and expense-management tools (with QuickBooks integration) to remove that bottleneck.

Brex’s solution—an 8-minute application and 2-day implementation—let Spiral issue cards to all authorized purchasers overnight, add spend controls and real-time visibility, and automate reconciliation via QuickBooks. The change saved Spiral’s finance team double-digit hours per month, improved runway visibility for clinical planning, and accelerated administrative workflows so the company can spend more time on research.
