Plotting a better path for project power

Groundwork’s teams struggled with fragmented spreadsheets and slow budgeting across 100+ projects annually. Limited finance staff couldn’t provide timely, remote access to financial data, causing delayed decisions and risking overspending amid complex funding rules and hybrid work demands. Crucial knowledge remained siloed, and manual processes wasted valuable time and resources.

We used to use a lot of spreadsheets, people were keeping their own data. When people left, they did so with the data in their head, or in their drawer. It was all over the place.

Pounds, people, and purpose aligned

Migrating from Sage 50 and Sage 200 to cloud-based Sage Intacct gave Groundwork instant, anytime financial access. With all project documents like budgets and contracts in one place, plus handy dashboards, prepaid cards, and carbon tracking, workflows became simpler, transparency improved, and budgeting got more accurate — all while supporting their big sustainability goals.

Now they can just jump on and get what they want. The whole interface is much more user-friendly. Service managers who aren’t financially trained can navigate easily.
