Picture this...

You’re a leading automobile services company that’s preparing to go public. You have big plans, but you’re struggling to get a clear picture of your company’s future. You need to develop the infrastructure that will allow you to forecast company performance—both months, and years, down the line.

You turn to Accordion.

We partner with your FP&A team to think through macro- and micro-economic business drivers, as well as inorganic expansion plans to build a framework for your long-term financial model. From there, we create:

  • An automated three-statement projection model based on granular sales data from over 1,500 of your stores, providing both short-term (monthly & quarterly) and long-term projections.
  • A top-down macroeconomic forecast that ensures your long-term business plan is sound.
  • A new, tech-enabled BI tool that helps you track how your company performance compares to projections—allowing you to map trends and understand micro- and macro-economic reasons for change in real-time.

Your value is enhanced.

You now have a sophisticated, data-driven forecasting platform that will help you drive growth. This:

  • Gives you clear insight into your financial health and the underlying drivers of performance, allowing you to make more informed business decisions.
  • Helps you identify influential data indicators such as same-store sales growth (SSSG)— a metric that’s particularly useful as you prepare for an IPO.
  • Enables you to leverage concrete data to shape and communicate your expansion plans going forward.
