Situation
GridSource is a leading utility contractor that specializes in infrastructure solutions for the telecom and gas industries. GridSource is 100% private equity owned and is focused on growth driven initiatives.
Challenge
- The team had to compile detailed P&L budgets at market level, then manually enter GL account level amounts into Quickooks.
- The time-consuming process led to inefficient budgeting. Additionally, manual compilation of market budgets increased risk of error and version control.
Action
- Developed a detailed market level budget model. Customer controlled drivers integrate with historical actuals from system to automatically calculate budgeted amounts.
- BUCS model automatically updates each year, eliminating the need to re-assemble the budget.
- A web hosted dashboard allows for historical, consolidated or granular budget analysis as well as the ability to override when it makes sense.
- Once budget is finalized, an export is provided for batch upload to QuickBooks.
