In just a few years, CoderPad has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grown revenue nearly 4x<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expanded the workforce from 10 to over 80 people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced monthly close time by 66%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced days sales outstanding (DSO) by 25%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shifted from 80% operational\/tactical accounting to 80% strategic finance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintained a lean accounting and finance team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we didn\u2019t have Sage Intacct and the tools we\u2019ve plugged into it, my team would probably be two to three times the size it is now, at significantly higher cost,\u201d says Galvin, who joined CoderPad in 2020 after previous accounting and audit roles at companies including Yelp, Salesforce, EY, and PwC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-no-brainer-selection-for-financial-management\"><strong>A \u2018No-Brainer\u2019 Selection for Financial Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight out of the gate, Galvin knew that Sage Intacct checked all the boxes for CoderPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had never used Sage Intacct before, but I know a lot of people in the industry who do and speak very highly of it,\u201d Galvin says. &#8220;It was really a no-brainer. I knew Sage Intacct would be the best system for our immediate needs, and that it could scale over time as the business got larger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galvin says Oracle and Workday, which he had used at prior companies, would be too big and expensive for CoderPad. Demos of Oracle NetSuite and Sage Intacct made clear that the Sage product was more user-friendly and intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With implementation by Armanino, a top Sage Intacct partner, CoderPad quickly began reaping the rewards of its new cloud-based platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-huge-time-savings-in-order-to-cash\"><strong>\u2018Huge Time Savings\u2019 in Order to Cash<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With automation and multi-entity accounting, CoderPad has reduced its monthly close time by 66%, from about 30 days down to 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCreating a process to do a 10-day close at a high-growth SaaS company is fantastic, so props to my team for helping make that happen,\u201d Galvin says. \u201cWe\u2019re able to get information to our internal and external stakeholders on a more timely basis, and we\u2019re able to handle a significantly larger volume of transactions with the same size team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CoderPad is saving more time by eliminating manual work in the order-to-cash cycle with a tech stack that includes Sage Intacct, Salesforce, and an Ordway application used for billing and revenue recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAutomating order to cash through integrations with Sage Intacct has been a huge time savings,&#8221; Galvin says. \u201cI\u2019m spending significantly less time on operational accounting and more time on strategic finance. That allows me to partner with a lot of internal stakeholders, particularly our chief revenue officer (CRO).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategic-partnerships-boost-revenue\"><strong>Strategic Partnerships Boost Revenue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaming up with CoderPad\u2019s CRO is generating strategies that help sales reps improve their effectiveness, unleashing new revenue for the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI partner very closely with our CRO to help her scale the sales team,\u201d Galvin shares. \u201cWe work to drive efficiency in the sales process, and to create compensation plans that can scale with the business and incentivize our sales reps to drive as much value as they can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galvin adds, \u201cWithout Sage Intacct automating a lot of our process, I just wouldn\u2019t have the time to spend there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With newfound time through automation, Galvin says he\u2019s shifted his focus from 80% operational\/tactical accounting to almost 80% strategic finance. \u201cPartnering with the CRO and other departments is really where I can drive the most value for the business,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speeding-cash-flow-with-dso-down-25\"><strong>Speeding Cash Flow with DSO Down 25%<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation is also decreasing DSO roughly 25% to date, aided by automated dunning that prompts customers to pay bills promptly. That\u2019s sparing Galvin\u2019s team from days of reaching out to late payers with emails or phone calls while substantially accelerating cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt gets cash into the business much more quickly, where we can deploy it into strategic investments that help us grow,\u201d Galvin says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A top focus for Galvin is embedding scalable processes throughout the tech stack that can accommodate CoderPad\u2019s ambitious growth objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBuilding out scalable processes is absolutely number one,\u201d Galvin says. \u201cWhen we double the size of our business, I don\u2019t want to have to double the size of our support teams. Creating processes with flexible systems that talk to each other is the number one way to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-easy-reporting-and-best-of-breed-integrations\"><strong>Easy Reporting and Best-of-Breed Integrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CoderPad is saving even more time with intuitive reporting in Sage Intacct, versus exporting data to Excel for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing I love about Sage Intacct is how easy the reporting is,\u201d Galvin says. \u201cCompared to previous systems I\u2019ve used, all my reporting is right in one place. I love being able to start high level, almost an SEC-esque P&amp;L, and drill down into G&amp;A expenses very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporting will get a further boost as Galvin looks to incorporate FP&amp;A technology into his tech stack, which also includes solutions like Avalara for sales tax, Slack for purchasing, and Teampay for a virtual credit card program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSage Intacct has allowed us to lay a foundation around it without having to worry if something will integrate nicely,\u201d Galvin says. \u201cYou always know integrations with Sage Intacct are going to work and remove part of your manual processes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galvin strongly suggests that other SaaS companies evaluate Sage Intacct as they look to drive growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor anyone in our position of a few years ago, if you\u2019re looking to automate processes and free up time to work on strategic finance rather than operational accounting, I highly recommend Sage Intacct,\u201d Galvin says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more\"><strong>Learn More<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to tune in on demand
