The Situation
PE-backed SaaS company generating $48M in revenue with 300 employees quickly outgrew finance and accounting systems after three acquisitions. The goal was to have one streamlined process to quickly onboard and manage all entities.
- Finance function was stretched after initial acquisitions
- Internal processes could not scale as the company grew
- No holistic visibility into all entities
- CFO was buried with time-consuming daily financial operations
