How Thriva Saves a Day Every Month on Month-End Close with Cledara

Thriva is a UK-based health tech company making diagnostics accessible through direct-to-consumer and B2B channels. As they scaled, managing expenses across growing teams became complex—so they turned to Cledara. As Financial Accountant at Thriva, Kaela uses Cledara to manage financial operations, maintain accounting precision, and keep month-end reconciliations running smoothly.

When Kaela joined Thriva, Cledara was already in place to oversee software subscriptions, but she knew her team wasn't tapping into its full power yet. Month-end close still required a lot of manual administrative effort to keep track of software spending and match documents across tools. Additionally, managing scattered subscriptions on generic expense cards made software spend harder to track and control.

By assigning a dedicated virtual card to every single application, Thriva gained complete control over its SaaS budgets. If an app needs budget tweaks or a subscription needs to be paused, Kaela can manage that specific card immediately without disrupting any other tool the team uses.

"Because they each have their own virtual card, if there's an issue with a payment or something, we can just stop it or disable it immediately without affecting all the other ones."

Whenever Kaela has a quick question or needs help setting up new features, Cledara’s support team is right there to jump in and assist.

"Even your support chats - I mean, they respond so quickly. Really, really appreciate it. Great service."

By solving the friction of manual invoice matching and building a direct bridge to Xero, Cledara saves Kaela an entire working day every single month. Instead of spending hours chasing receipts and double-checking entries, her team can clear month-end close in record time and focus on higher-value financial initiatives that help Thriva grow.
