Case Study: Lighthouse Poole streamlines finance and cuts admin with Advanced Exchequer

The Largest Arts Centre Outside of London Needed a More Suitable Solution to Grow With

Lighthouse Poole, a major arts centre, faced a challenge with its outdated Sage accounting software that could no longer meet its needs following a major refurbishment. The system was inefficient for job costing and lacked the flexibility required for growth, prompting the search for a new solution. They selected a financial management system from vendor Advanced.

Advanced implemented its Exchequer solution, which streamlined financial processes and provided vital job costing functionality. This resulted in a 20% reduction in administrative headcount by automating previously manual tasks. All accounting operations were sped up, increasing financial transparency across the organization. The vendor Advanced successfully formed a long-term partnership with the arts centre, enabling its continued development.
