Case Study: Heartland achieves single source of truth and faster budgeting with Centage

Heartland builds budgets for 20+ companies in days with Centage

Heartland LLC, a rapidly growing commercial landscaping company, faced significant challenges in budgeting and financial consolidation due to its aggressive acquisition strategy. Using a chaotic collection of Excel spreadsheets led to version control issues and a lack of a single source of truth, especially as the company grew from 5 to 23 entities. To support this growth, CFO Peter Welch sought a flexible FP&A solution and chose Centage's budgeting and forecasting platform.

Centage provided a scalable solution that delivered a single source of truth for budgets, forecasts, and actuals across all acquired companies. The implementation streamlined processes, allowing Heartland to build budgets for all its companies in a matter of days with just a four-person team. Centage enabled sophisticated scenario planning during market changes and offered flexible reporting that made integrating new acquisitions swift and easy. This gave Heartland the financial visibility and confidence needed to continue its strategic growth.
