Testimonial:
As a bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer and a premier CPG brand, Raaka had complicated operations. They had omni-channel sales and a complicated manufacturing process. They were really struggling under the weight of their financial operations and a Netsuite implementation was too costly for their size, yet Quickbooks (and a bunch of other disparate financial software) was leading to a tremendous amount of manual data entry and data consolidation to just get a quarterly close. FinOptimal integrated Quickbooks with all their revenue streams to allow Raaka to have a super accurate view of their revenue by channel, and helped automate Whole Foods reporting. We also helped automate their expense allocations and the automation of a complicated payroll process. FinOptimal has been there side-by-side to help with ad hoc requests as new sales channels open.
"Not only have I been able to keep overhead low as I’ve scaled my business through FinOptimal’s automations, but I have clear, clean, actionable data and auditable financials for my stakeholders." - Ryan Cheney, Co-Founder Raaka Chocolate
