Your tech-focused private equity firm needs you to meet standardized reporting requirements while providing a nuanced and bespoke set of operational and financial metrics. But there’s an issue: you don’t have the tools in place to meet their demands.

You turn to Accordion.

We partner with your team to build a dynamic revenue model, enhance overall reporting capabilities, and provide FP&A leadership. More specifically, we:

  • Develop a bottoms-up revenue forecasting model that updates automatically and utilizes data from existing systems, while incorporating all components of the revenue forecasting process and standard SaaS metrics that are core to the monthly board reporting package.
  • Build additional models and enhanced reports to efficiently produce key analyses and board presentations.
  • Streamline the process for forecasting/budgeting for human capital (HC) needs and implement key HC recruiting and reporting processes.
  • Create user guides for FP&A team members to seamlessly transition into new roles.

Your value is enhanced.

You now have an automated revenue model, a revamped forecasting process, and an improved structure for managing hiring/onboarding processes. This:

  • Allows you to drive more informed decision-making while also enabling you to more efficiently update revenue projections and deliver critical KPI metrics to your sponsor,
  • Reduces manual effort, freeing up more time for productive internal review and feedback.
  • Enables you to take ownership of the reports and update process going forward.
