CHALLENGES
Rapid Growth Exposes Financial Management Limitations
As Apex expanded from a small operation into a multi-division enterprise, limitations in their financial management system became increasingly problematic. They relied on QuickBooks to manage financial activities across ten divisions, each maintaining its own QuickBooks file. This decentralized approach required time-consuming manual consolidation each month, straining resources and increasing the risk of errors in financial reporting.
Apex also faced challenges with revenue recognition, particularly in complying with percentage-of-completion accounting standards. QuickBooks lacked the necessary automation for these transactions, forcing the finance team to make manual adjustments each month to meet GAAP requirements. As transaction volumes increased with each acquisition, so did the risk of errors, further complicating their financial operations.
Recognizing that QuickBooks could not support their evolving needs, Apex sought a more advanced solution to manage complex accounting requirements across multiple entities. The lack of automation and actionable insights was draining internal resources and limiting growth potential.
To address these challenges, Apex searched for a robust, cloud-based ERP system capable of automating essential functions, streamlining financial processes, and integrating seamlessly with other best-in-class cloud solutions.
OUTCOMES
Apex Roofing’s Journey to Streamlined Accounting with Sage Intacct Construction
After evaluating various Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions, Apex selected Sage Intacct Construction for its comprehensive features tailored to the needs of growing businesses. Sage Intacct’s multi-entity management, construction-focused accounting tools, and scalability supported Apex’s growth objectives. With streamlined accounting and automated processes, Sage Intacct empowers Apex to efficiently manage multiple divisions and make faster, data-driven decisions. Unlike restrictive all-in-one systems, Sage Intacct offers the flexibility to integrate seamlessly with Apex’s existing cloud tools, allowing them to retain their other best-in-class systems without sacrificing functionality.
For the implementation, Apex partnered with CBIZ CompuData. Impressed by CBIZ CompuData’s expertise and understanding of their business, Apex felt confident in their choice. CBIZ CompuData played a crucial role in guiding the team through the implementation process, providing expert technical advice and tailored solutions to address the company’s specific needs.
