How Ridecell Fixed Corporate Card Expenses With Airbase

About this webinar.

Mixing company credit cards with rapid headcount growth isn’t a situation that can scale. Many startups wait too long to put proper controls and processes in place and pay the price with undisciplined spending and a mess for accounting.

Oftentimes it’s the responsibility of the first finance person to help the company “grow up” and get controls in place, and start working down the monthly burn.

In this webinar, JD Higginbotham, Controller at Ridecell, and Thejo Kote, founder and CEO at Airbase, will discuss the control, recording, and reporting challenges JD faced when he first started at Ridecell and how he solved them with Airbase.

Learning objectives.

How Ridecell used pre-approvals and virtual cards to reduce wastage, orphaned spend, and fraud.
How Airbase helps Ridecell get real-time visibility into spend with self-service reporting.
How JD automated accounting reconciliation and enabled close to real-time accounting.
