Challenge
Finance team spent 40+ hours monthly on manual report preparation, collecting data from multiple sources into Excel spreadsheets for board presentations.
Solution
We built an automation platform that consolidates all data sources (banking APIs, accounting system, CRM) into a single dashboard with auto-generated reports.
Project Overview
A fast-growing fintech startup reached a critical inflection point in operational efficiency. As their client portfolio grew, manual reporting processes couldn't scale.
Challenges
- Manual Processes: 40+ hours/month on manual report preparation
- Data Silos: 6 different data sources (banks, accounting, CRM)
- Error Risk: 3-5% error rate in manual data entry
- Delays: Reports ready by the 15th of each month at earliest
