New collaboration gives high-growth companies real-time visibility and control over software spend

AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2026 / Consero Global, the leader in Finance as a Service (FaaS) for high-growth and private equity-backed companies, announced a strategic partnership with SpendHound, a rapidly growing software spend management platform that provides automated visibility and control across enterprise software vendors for more than 1,000 customers.

The partnership addresses a critical challenge facing small and growing businesses: time-consuming manual management of software and cloud vendors that leads to missed cost-saving opportunities and renewal deadlines.

The collaboration will provide Consero clients with enhanced visibility into their technology stack, automated renewal management, and proactive cost-saving opportunities at no additional cost.

"Unmanaged software spend is one of the most common and fixable leaks we see," said David Sawatzky, CEO of Consero Global. "Partnering with SpendHound gives our clients immediate visibility and control over their tech stack, without adding cost or complexity. Our clients trust us to curate purpose-built technology that turns financial data into real-time strategic intelligence, this is a natural extension of our mission."

SpendHound's platform integrates directly with clients' accounting software to provide a unified dashboard view of all software and cloud spending. The solution automates renewal management, proactively identifies cost-saving opportunities, and offers product-level pricing benchmarks. Consero clients will also gain access to in-house procurement experts who support new vendor purchases and renewals, helping identify savings and source alternative tools when needed.

"We built SpendHound to help growing businesses get proactive about their software spend," said James Hart, President of YipitData and executive partner of SpendHound. "By partnering with Consero, we're able to bring that visibility, automation, and procurement support directly into a scalable and integrated finance operation model."
