Finance is often considered the analytical backbone of an organization, steadily crunching numbers while the business grows. But today’s CFOs and their teams have an ever expanding strategic remit on top of existing day-to-day processes.
With research showing that 62% of business leaders expect to outgrow their current technology within 12 months, ensuring finance systems can scale with the business is becoming an increasingly urgent priority. The faster a business scales, the more likely it is that the tools supporting finance will struggle to keep up.
These three finance leaders were facing exactly that, until they made the transition to Intuit Enterprise Suite. And the impact goes beyond efficiency.
What recovered time actually looks like
Before founding HFMM Legacy Group, Jason Corby, CEO, worked for a construction company that was acquired by a private equity firm. The experience shaped what he built next, a management group overseeing a portfolio of outdoor service companies across eight entities in two states.
Intuit's construction data study found that 75% of industry decision-makers say disconnected tech stacks force them to spend unnecessary time managing data rather than acting on it. With different bookkeepers across multiple locations, HFMM was no exception.
After migrating to Intuit Enterprise Suite — a process that took, in Corby's words, "literally two hours" — data from all eight entities fed directly into a single dashboard. The time savings were immediate.
"I've saved 10 to 15 hours a week," Corby said. But what he describes next is less easily quantified. "A lot of business owners take their work home, whether that's thinking about or wondering how things are going. Intuit Enterprise Suite has given me visibility that has provided me with some peace of mind. I'm more focused and can spend more time interacting with my family when I'm at home."
When the close cycle stops running the business
At language services company Lango, seven acquisitions meant seven different spreadsheets and a tangle of fragmented data. Thanks to what was fast becoming a manual reporting nightmare, the finance function was losing 25–30% of its weekly capacity trying to reconcile the figures, with month-end close often a 45-day cycle.
Transitioning to Intuit Enterprise Suite resulted in Lango’s close reducing from 45 days to a consistent 15, and aged accounts receivable (above 90 days) going from 22% to under 2%. The business was getting the reliable, timely insight it needed.
"Intuit Enterprise Suite took us from a mess of seven different spreadsheets to a consolidated view that allows me to manage the business, communicate with my board, and manage debt partners with total confidence," said CEO and Founder Josh Daneshforooz.
From reporting to strategy
Fire & Ice is an employee-owned food services company specializing in, among other things, on-site catering for emergency services during natural disasters. Sonia Sorce joined the business as Controller in 2016, drawn in by its mission, and became CFO after it transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2022.
As an ESOP, Fire & Ice is required to provide consolidated financial statements to its bank quarterly and annually, a process Sorce describes as a "mad scramble" before Intuit Enterprise Suite.
"Now, when I need to pull consolidated reports, I can do in five minutes what I used to do in an hour," she said.
For an employee-owned business, that accuracy matters beyond operational efficiency. With the extra time Intuit Enterprise Suite delivers, Sorce can focus on what she joined the business to do: help it grow.
"It frees up so much of my time to be able to support my team," she explained.
The combination that makes strategic finance possible
The Intuit Quickbooks 2026 AI Impact Report, drawing on responses from more than 34,000 businesses, found that AI adoption is directly linked to faster revenue growth and measurable time savings. For finance leaders, those time savings unlock the capacity to truly lead rather than administer.
“CFOs don’t want AI hype; they want automation that eliminates tedious manual math so they can focus on cash flow and strategic velocity,” said Ashley Still, EVP and GM, Small Business and Mid-Market at Intuit. “To accelerate through growth, leadership teams must move past simply trying to figure out what happened last week and focus entirely on why it happened. That requires absolute confidence in a single source of truth.”
Intuit Enterprise Suite is designed to be the CFO's command center, combining fragmented data into a single platform that automates the back office so CFOs can focus on growth. Where legacy ERPs can take a year to deploy, 95% of Intuit Enterprise Suite customers are live in under 30 days, with AI handling the work that once consumed their teams: automating intercompany transactions, tracking project profitability, and chasing down invoices.
