Rapid growth puts a burden on the finance team

In five years, the group had expanded from 11 restaurant locations to nearly 30. With this rapid pace of growth, the burden on S&L’s central finance team naturally increased. The organization’s server-based accounting system was unable to produce financial statements required for larger bank loans.

We were looking for a cloud-based solution to tie all our entities together so we could minimize duplicate intercompany journals.

Finance team takes back its time

Sage Intacct streamlines S&L’s complex financial processes across several dozen operating and realty entities - from tracking individual restaurant expenses, to allocating common health insurance invoices across multiple locations - helping to shorten the monthly close by five days.

We would never have been able to handle this kind of growth without Sage Intacct’s automation, which increased our team efficiency by at least 50%.

Increased transparency promotes accountability

Sage Intacct’s dimension capabilities deliver dramatically improved visibility that supports S&L’s continued growth. The system gives executives full transparency into the financials across all of the group’s 30 restaurants, while general managers can drill into expenses for locations under their control.

Sage Intacct puts real-time financial information into the hands of our managers so they’re more apt to take ownership and be proactive.
