ModSquad's finance team expe- rienced growing pains from trying to keep up with the company's rapid expansion using legacy Excel-based financial processes. David Wohlwend, Vice President of Finance and Accounting at ModSquad, shared, "We reached a point where we knew we needed more scalable technology to keep up with our aggressive growth plans. A er a full-blown evaluation of FinancialForce, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct, we easily se led on working with Leap the Pond to implement Sage Intacct because we appreciated the solution's pre-built integration with Salesforce, powerful reporting capabilities, simple interface, marketplace of specialized partner apps, and, most importantly, the Sage Intacct team's high integrity and 'customer for life' culture. Solutions Increasing Margins through Insight into Customer and Project Profitability The most notable benefit ModSquad experienced a er switching to Sage Intacct came from gain- ing visibility into its financials across a variety of operational dimensions. This allows them to slice and dice revenues, expenses, and labor across individual projects, clients, locations, or service lines for deeper reporting and analysis. These insights extend far beyond the finance team, helping ModSquad's Vice President of Services, Account Managers, and entire C-suite partner in growing the company's margins. "Sage Intacct provides the ability to drill down and filter our dashboards, which affords us the freedom to provide on-target estimates for complex work where clients scale our services up and down," said Wohlwend. "We're now watching exactly what our project managers are doing across ten major activities on a project at a very fine-grained level, and can monitor KPIs as numbers roll in, know instantly what's going on and see what needs more work."
