ATC is the voice of Central Texas’ diverse and thriving technology and life sciences industries. By convening Austin’s top technology executives, ATC is leading the effort to meet the future needs of the industry through increased access to technical talent, increased access to later-stage capital, the support of a thriving life sciences ecosystem, and connectivity across the industry and with key stakeholders in Texas and around the world. As ATC continues to grow, it became apparent that their F&A services were very limited. They were relying heavily on using spreadsheets and manual transactions were labor intensive. Julie Huls brought on Consero to help them with these challenges. The biggest improvement Consero has made has been on the reporting functions. Bringing sophisticated reports to the board of directors has made a huge difference. Consero was also able to bring them a full team rather than a one person show. This allowed Julie to focus more on planning, forward thinking and strategy.
