Case Study: Hungerford Vinton LLC achieves 99% faster audit prep and improved client service with Altair Knowledge Works' Monarch

Delivering Improved Customer Service with a Streamlined Audit Process

Hungerford Vinton, LLC is an external audit firm that struggled with time-consuming, often unbillable work because client data arrived in many formats and systems—PDFs, flat files and outputs from AS/400, QuickBooks, Oracle Financials and legacy government systems—requiring hours of manual extraction and conversion (often up to 15 hours per audit).

By standardizing on the Altair Monarch data‑preparation platform, the firm automated extraction and transformation of disparate reports into usable datasets, enabling repeatable audit processes. The change cut audit prep from about 15 hours to as little as 2 minutes (≈99% time savings), sped fraud detection from days to hours, saved clients thousands of dollars, and improved audit quality, client service and firm profitability.
