Problem

The client's organization was facing challenges with manual cash flow models, slow processing times, and inaccurate data. The lack of real-time insights and expedited analysis was hindering the leadership team's decision-making process. Additionally, the absence of a comprehensive budget planning and forecasting tool was leading to inefficiencies in sales and expense planning.

Solution

We collaborated with the CFO and accounting team to implement data-driven automation solutions utilizing advanced analytics techniques like Power Query, data modeling, macros, SQL, and Power Apps. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) to empower the client to strategically direct their collection team's efforts towards lagging cohorts. We designed and implemented a PowerBI dashboard for sales performance analysis that offered visibility into current deals and sales performance KPIs at the regional and team member level.
