At Airbase, we believe we’re entering an age of enlightenment for accounting and finance professionals, marked by the tremendous innovation of spend management — a practice that can unlock an elevated state of being across a whole company. It’s beyond spend management, it’s spendlightenment.

We wanted to find out where the broader cohort of finance professionals falls when it comes to this enlightened state, so we conducted a short survey of 201 finance and accounting professionals working in small to early-enterprise companies. We think you’ll find the results illuminating, and believe you’ll be interested to see where you fit in on your own path to spendlightenment.
