Real-World Impact from ScaleSight

At ScaleSight, we’re not just number crunchers—we partner with businesses to drive real, measurable success. Our Case Studies showcase how targeted financial strategies have helped clients overcome challenges, optimize operations, and achieve significant milestones. Below are three representative stories that highlight our expertise in action:

1. From Reactive Accounting to Strategic Decision-Making

Industry: Tech Startup | Revenue: $2M annually

A high-growth SaaS startup was struggling with delayed and fragmented financial reporting, making it nearly impossible to plan effectively. ScaleSight stepped in as their Virtual CFO. We implemented a cloud-based accounting platform, cleaned up their financials for accuracy, and introduced monthly dashboard reporting covering MRR, customer acquisition cost, and cash runway.

Results:

  • Reduced month-end close time from 15 days to 5
  • Improved cash-awareness led to proactive budget adjustments, extending runway by 18 months
  • Enabled data-driven decisions that optimized product launch timing—contributing to a 25% uplift in new customer growth

2. Unlocking Growth Through Cash Flow Insights

Industry: Professional Services Firm | Revenue: $7M

This mid-sized consulting firm faced dwindling margins and cash flow pressures due to project-based billing with long payment cycles. We introduced a customized cash-flow forecast model, tied invoicing to milestone completions, and provided bi-weekly working-capital reviews.

Results:

  • Reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) from 75 to 45 days
  • Improved monthly operating cash by over $500K
  • Provided clarity for hiring decisions, boosting utilization rates and achieving sustainable growth

3. Preparing for a Successful Exit with Solid Financials

Industry: Manufacturing | Revenue: $20M

As this mid-market manufacturer prepared for a potential strategic sale, their financial records were inconsistent and lacked accrual-based clarity. ScaleSight implemented a robust accounting structure, introduced monthly accrual reports, and refined KPIs critical to buyers—such as gross margin by product line and inventory turnover.

Results:

  • Created buyer-ready financial statements and financial controls
  • Strengthened EBITDA visibility and transparency
  • Led to acquisition offers exceeding internal projections, with valuation multiples 20% higher than anticipated
