Picture this...

You’re a veterinary hospital rollup of over 60 hospitals. Your growth has been nourished by rapid acquisitions whose historical financials were all cash basis accounting. They need to be converted to accrual basis to integrate with your books and records—and your finance team has not been able to keep up. Adding urgency, the sponsor plans to bring you to market in the near-term. To do that, you need to prepare historical pro forma financials to enable visibility into hospital-level analytics and performance. ​

You turn to Accordion.

We partner with your accounting, finance and IT teams to:

  • Create a data cube for historical pro forma financial P&Ls, inclusive of adjustments (QoE, run-rate, and pro forma) with separate data dimensions for all acquired entities—leveraging Power Query and Power Pivot.
  • Enhance hospital-level profitability by leveraging Power Pivot to optimize pricing and cost across all hospitals.
  • Build interim reporting tools in Excel and Power BI giving management previously unavailable visibility into one of their largest expense categories: payroll costs.
  • Shift from manual to automated process for payroll reporting including automating payroll data feed into Snowflake data warehouse for business reporting purposes and creating completed-payroll-related journal entry templates ready for upload into Sage Intacct.

Your value is enhanced.

You now have a consolidated data set of accrual basis financials for performance tracking across different periods. On top of that:

  • The pricing optimization increases your profitability by bringing prices at hospitals up to the level consistent with the wider group.
  • The cost optimization analysis allows you to negotiate better terms for cost of goods (your largest expense category) with two main vendors.
  • The interim reporting and automation tools for payroll create visibility into payroll costs for the first time, helping you manage and forecast expenses better on a weekly basis.
  • The automation tool also drastically reduces the burden on the accounting team for payroll related entries.
