Software and app company improves reporting and systems integration
Baker Tilly helps Slice bring local pizza into the digital world with improved reporting and systems integration.
Client background
Slice is a software and consumer app company based in New York City. Slice is uniting and empowering local pizzerias with tech, data and marketing to take charge of their industry, to bring their business into the digital world, and to provide handcrafted, quality pizza with the utmost convenience. Unlike other online ordering services that drive down a pizzeria’s quality and value by charging high order fees, Slice builds a true alliance for a fair cost. After a rigorous evaluation, Slice chose Baker Tilly over other cloud and on-premises solutions as the best fit to meet the needs of the organization.
Bianca Marquez, Accountant, SliceI think the Baker Tilly team's organizational skills played a huge role in our successful implementation.
The business challenge
- Slice's legacy accounting system was no longer able to handle the requirements of a growing software and technology company. The company needed a best-in-class system that can handle most of their financial management needs without add-ons, but can still connect with other systems, including their proprietary software, via APIs
- Slice wanted to enhance their reporting capabilities on both financial and non-financial data without the need for spreadsheets or third party reporting add-ons
- As a visionary technology company, Slice saw the need for collaboration tools within the financial management system, something unavailable in their legacy accounting software
- The company wanted a modern solution that relies on configuration rather than customization, where the finance team is empowered to make changes to the system as their needs change without having to rely on IT or outside consultants
Bianca Marquez, Accountant, SliceBaker Tilly had such a good way of understanding of what we were asking and what we needed. I don’t think there is anything Baker Tilly could have done better.
Strategy and solution
Baker Tilly provides Slice with powerful integration capabilities, the ability to report on both financial and non-financial information in one system of record and the revenue recognition functionality today's software and SaaS companies need. With Baker Tilly’s social layer, Sage Intacct Collaborate, the finance team can collaborate and communicate on specific journal entries, accounts, projects, invoices, purchase requisitions and more, providing context and keeping conversations out of email threads.
