Highspring helped the company design a scalable finance framework, building its first comprehensive budget, creating a five-year organizational roadmap, and leveraging NetSuite to automate consolidations and reporting.
In just two months, the team secured board approval, delivering detailed revenue, cost, and EBITDA bridges while centralizing finance functions. The result? A data-driven finance organization equipped to sustain growth and provide investor-ready insights.
