How Multi-Entity CSPs Can Simplify Billing Across Subsidiaries and Tenants

Multi-entity organizations face one of the toughest billing challenges in finance operations: balancing centralized control with local flexibility. Whether it’s subsidiaries, tenants, or hybrid structures, billing can quickly become a source of inefficiency and revenue leakage.

This blog explores common multi-entity billing scenarios and how Work 365 helps finance teams manage them with accuracy, scalability, and automation.
