Accounting team struggles to keep up with rapid growth

As Patreon expanded, its financial complexity increased exponentially. After a couple years on QuickBooks, Patreon’s outsourced accounting team found that the software was no longer able to keep up with its needs.

As a small, hyper-growth company, even minor changes we make can be magnified quickly, and speed is always of the essence.

Accurate growth forecasting

Sage Intacct lets Patreon monitor budget-to-actuals in real-time, manage department forecasting, and drill into specific expenses as needed. During critical headcount planning, the finance team can use flexible models in the system to run various scenarios.

Sage Intacct gives us peace of mind that we’re making decisions based on solid data vs. ‘back-of-the envelope’ spreadsheet calculations.

Efficiency gains

Patreon boosted productivity by connecting its Sage Intacct financial hub with other best-in-class tools to streamline previously cumbersome workflows like payroll, credit card reconciliations, and cash management. As a result, the company more than halved its financial close – reducing it to just four days.

Sage Intacct’s integrated solutions foster business agility by giving all of our leaders visibility into Patreon’s financial position at any point in time.
