The challenge

Northwind Studio grew from 12 to 85 people in two years — and their finance stack didn’t keep up. Invoices lived in one tool, cards in another, and month-end meant five days of spreadsheets.

The switch

The team moved accounts, cards and invoicing to KAFO in a single afternoon. Approval rules mirrored their existing policies, and accounting sync replaced manual exports overnight.

“We closed the books in eleven hours instead of five days.”

The result

Month-end now takes eleven hours. Card controls saved $40k in the first quarter, and suppliers in 14 countries are paid from a single approval queue.
