No miser needs special finish on everything (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spendall

'no miser' is the definition.
(a spendall is the opposite of a miser)

'special finish on everything' is the wordplay.
'special' becomes 'sp' (abbreviation).
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'sp'+'end'+'all'='SPENDALL'

'needs' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
