Case Study: Interaction Associates achieves increased project profitability and halves IT costs with Acumatica

Interaction Associates Increased Project Profitability with Acumatica

Interaction Associates, a Boston-based professional services firm with 20 employees and a network of 50+ contractors, needed to go 100% virtual but their heavily customized on-prem Sage MAS 500 and a misaligned outsourced accounting provider couldn’t support project-based billing, mobile time and expense entry, or fast, accurate reporting. The legacy setup made invoicing and project profitability opaque, slowed collections, and threatened operations as their office lease ended.

Working with ASC Partners, IA implemented cloud-based Acumatica Advanced Financials with Project Accounting and Velixo in an agile eight-week rollout. The unified, mobile-enabled system gave the firm a single source of truth, seamless time & expense integration, and project-level P&L visibility, while cutting technology costs by about 50% and reducing time spent on accounting tasks dramatically (from ~20 to ~2 hours weekly), enabling faster invoicing, better cash flow and scalable growth.
