The Problem

Why Global Manufacturing Company Approached HollandParker?

The company was at a crossroads needing to break away from Excel, find a tool to consolidate financial data from two companies, and automate intercompany eliminations. Additionally, the company needed to address manual entry of cash flow. Cash flow was not automated, which delayed visibility and required significant time and maintenance.
