CASE STUDY
Client Challenge

The company relied on a local CPA firm for bookkeeping and tax services, with the CEO responsible for sending all data to them. However, small CPA firms typically cater to mom-and-pop businesses, lacking the expertise needed for investor-ready financial statements or financial analysis.
Our Solution
GFT's accounting and financial operations experts collaborated closely with the newly appointed Head of Finance and the CEO to tailor financial reports that accurately mirror the company's operations. Through extensive discussions with department heads, GFT gained insights into their operational methodologies, systems, and processes. Leveraging this knowledge, GFT developed the chart of accounts and integrated entities and dimensions into the accounting system. GFT established seven QuickBooks accounts for entities, devised streamlined processes for data intake and bill payments, and implemented an approval matrix to enhance internal controls.
