Embarking on a data-driven transformation

ASM’s financial processes were very manual and difficult for most in the organization to understand, creating bottlenecks when it came to extracting financial data. With a new management team prompting a shift towards more data-driven decisions, the finance team were pressed to provide better visibility into operations, as well as granular project and department financials.

We didn’t want the finance department to feel like a black box on the fifth floor anymore, just magically spitting out huge monthly reporting binders.

Smooth easy streamlined processes

Following an in-depth evaluation of several financial management solutions on the market, ASM chose Sage Intacct for its multi-dimensional general ledger, as well as its powerful project accounting module. Since then, the organization has improved transparency and adopted modern workflows that increased finance team productivity significantly.

It’s so much nicer with Intacct’s automation; we put in an invoice and simply tell the system, ‘this is how you recognize the revenue,’ and it takes care of the rest.

Real-time insights for all

With Sage Intacct dimensions, the organization can now easily track and compare its financials between several departments and over 1,100 active projects, as well as grants and corporate initiatives that span multiple accounts and projects. These insights help ASM’s senior management with key financial analysis and decision making.

The system’s multi-dimensional reporting is fantastic because it’s helping us educate and engage various leaders. We want them to feel like this is their system.
