What We’ve Done
Project Management assistance fills a gap and delivers key support for business expansion
Client: Event production company
Business challenge: With a large and growing fan base and worldwide brand, a new territory expansion and a new venue group acquisition, both required new business entity configurations and setups within the Company’s ERP system to support the respective accounting and financial processes. Existing staff were busy on their day-to-day finance work and deliverables, were not professional project managers, and the shorter-term nature challenged them to identify internal staff to help execute these projects per the business’ quick expansion timelines.
SaaS-based Expense Management platform automates per diem request-to-payment lifecycle
Client: Live music event production company
Business challenge: The growing armies of seasonal workers required to execute the Company’s multiple annual large festival events was significantly increasing the processing requirements of the necessary per diem expense requests. The existing Excel-based process was not able to keep up with the growth, and without an automated request submission>approval>payment processing platform, the department could not scale to the needs.
Cloud-based data aggregation and processing platform improves event financial reporting and analysis
Client: Live music production company
Business challenge: With a growing event slate and limited staff, the ability to financially evaluate their large scale, complex events with precision during the very tight accounting close cycle proved challenging. Without automation, the time and effort required to aggregate and prepare the data took away from the value-add analysis and intelligence gathering processes, along with not optimizing the talent and value of the FPA staff.
Scrappy, low-cost technology solution kickstarts savings while larger initiative ramps up
Client: Live music production company
Business challenge: Achieving near-term efficiency goals while their large enterprise software solution was making it’s way through their lengthy approval and planning processes proved challenging to the Finance department. Without a central repository and a budget to invest in a near-term solution, over 25K vendor invoices flooded staff inboxes for processing. Many were lost or forgotten resulting in late payments and strained vendor relationships.
