For Finance Leaders

Improve EBITDA 1-3% through smarter workspace spend.

Your office lease is your second-largest expense after payroll. But with 20-40% of capacity sitting idle, you're paying for space nobody uses. Croissant converts fixed lease costs into governed variable spend.

The Real Estate Problem Finance Teams Face

WITHOUT CROISSANT

  • Long-term leases lock you into fixed costs regardless of headcount changes or hybrid adoption
  • 20-40% of leased office capacity sits idle on any given day, but you pay 100% of the cost
  • Employees expense coworking and coffee shops with zero visibility or control
  • Real estate decisions require 12-24 month forecasting in an unpredictable market
  • No way to elastically scale workspace up or down with business cycles

  • ✓ Pay only for actual workspace hours consumed. No more paying for empty desks.
  • ✓ Real-time dashboard showing who's working where, department budgets, and cost trends.

FAQ

Questions Finance Leaders Ask

How does this affect our real estate accounting under ASC 842?

Croissant is a service, not a lease. There's no right-of-use asset or lease liability to recognize. Your workspace spend flows through as an operating expense, simplifying your balance sheet and avoiding the complexity of lease accounting.

What's the typical ROI timeline?

Most companies see positive ROI within the first month. If you're currently paying for underutilized office space or reimbursing ad-hoc coworking expenses, the savings are immediate. We typically see 20-40% reduction in total workspace costs.

How do you handle international payments and currencies?

One invoice in your preferred currency (USD, EUR, GBP). We handle all the complexity of international workspace providers and currency conversion. Your AP team processes a single vendor payment.

Can we integrate with our expense management system?

Yes. We integrate with major expense management and ERP systems including Expensify, Concur, NetSuite, and others. Workspace data flows directly into your existing financial workflows.

What happens if we need to scale down quickly?

That's the point. Month-to-month terms mean you can reduce usage immediately if business conditions change. No penalties, no negotiating lease buyouts, no carrying costs on empty space.

Workspace is no longer a perk.
It's infrastructure.
