Case Study: Forest Holidays triples invoice processing and generates management accounts in under 30 seconds with The Access Group

Finance Software helps Forest Holidays increases invoice processing and reduces management accounts

Forest Holidays, a UK holiday‑cabin business part‑owned by the Forestry Commission with nearly 600 cabins and a £39m turnover, faced slow, non‑intuitive financial processes: time‑consuming management accounts, no integrated purchase‑order/invoice matching, poor spend visibility, paper‑based expense claims and difficulty moving data in and out of their old system. They engaged Access Group to provide a more integrated, user‑friendly accounting solution.

Access Group implemented its integrated finance platform—linking nominal ledgers, Excel and management accounts—and added purchase‑order/invoicing functionality, a document capture module and mobile expense management. The result: Forest Holidays now processes three times the number of invoices with no extra staff (saving one headcount), cut management‑account generation from ~10 minutes to under 30 seconds, eliminated physical storage and made audits and expense claims far faster and more controllable.
