Higginbotham grows fivefold without adding headcount thanks to Sage Intacct

Higginbotham - United States

Fast-growing insurance firm modernizes finance to power rapid, acquisition-led expansion.

Old world software clashes with high-speed growth

Higginbotham, a leading independent US insurance broker, faced scaling challenges with outdated financial tools. Manual workflows, limited general ledger capabilities, and siloed systems hindered growth and slowed compliance amid rapid expansion and 130+ acquisitions. The finance team needed a flexible, cloud-based solution to keep pace without adding headcount.

The vendor payable module was about the equivalent of a checkbook. It was just very antiquated.
