Case Study: Otta frees up finance team time with Spendesk

How Spendesk frees up time for Otta’s finance team

Otta, a job search company connecting candidates with fast-growing tech firms, needed a better way to manage company spending and, especially, to stop finance time being lost chasing employees for receipts. Before Spendesk, the team relied on founders’ cards, struggled to trace who spent what, and handled slow, messy expense approvals and reimbursements.

With Spendesk, Otta centralized spending using virtual and physical cards, automated receipt collection, managed subscriptions, and routed approvals through Slack. The result was faster workflows and less admin for finance and employees: expense claims take 30 seconds, approvals take 10 seconds, and Spendesk helps keep spending traceable, controlled, and much easier to reconcile.
