Case Study: November Five saves two weeks per quarter and streamlines spend management with Spendesk

How November Five's finance team saves two weeks per quarter

November Five, a 51–200 person digital transformation agency working with clients like Spotify and Coca‑Cola, was weighed down by manual spend processes: dozens of subscriptions on a single company card, no easy way for remote teams to pay, and a finance team constantly chasing receipts. To fix this they turned to Spendesk’s all‑in‑one spend management solution.

With Spendesk, November Five rolled out approval workflows, recurring subscription cards, single‑use virtual cards for remote and one‑off payments, and automated reconciliation. The platform centralized subscription ownership, stopped finance from having to chase employees, and delivered fast onboarding — saving the finance team about two weeks per quarter and turning finance from the “bad cop” into a helpful partner.
