The accelerating spend management trend has, until now, not addressed the needs of companies with one or more international subsidiaries. The need for this support has become critical as globalization, and remote working trends have accelerated, and even small to mid-market companies build out international operations with remote workers and global sales. The resulting requirement for visibility and control for companies with more complex multinational structures can be solved with Airbase’s robust spend management platform. Airbase automates approval workflows, accounting, and payments, including foreign currency payments, across 200 countries and 150 currencies.
With this new release, Airbase offers finance teams and budget owners consolidated real-time visibility into global spend, something that has not been possible before. Automating both the workflows and accounting for all spend down to the subsidiary level with a unified platform speeds the time to close by eliminating manual work, reconciliations, and error fixing. The resulting efficiencies save time and money for companies managing the complexities of multiple subsidiaries and currencies. “We have seen a significant rise in our customers expanding their businesses by scaling internationally,” said Airbase Founder and CEO Thejo Kote.
“At Airbase, our goal has always been to provide the most innovative software for the modern-day challenges of small to mid-market companies. I’m delighted to say that with this latest addition to the Airbase spend management platform, we are delivering on our promise to help finance professionals save time and build the operational muscle to support the world’s fastest-growing companies.”
“We’re excited to bring together all the workflows and payments from all subsidiaries into Airbase, which our customers have been consistently telling us is the ‘holy grail’ solution they’ve been looking for. We’re so proud to be the first spend management platform to deliver on the promise of global spend management for companies from founding to IPO and beyond.”

We implemented Airbase multi-subsidiary support in less than a week; and couldn’t be more excited to eliminate all our manual and time-consuming processes around subsidiaries spend management.” said Lara McGregor, Controller at M1 Finance.
