Case Study: AccountingDepartment.com achieves advisory foresight and major efficiency gains with Jirav

How AccountingDepartment.com went from accounting hindsight to advisory foresight in 2 months with Jirav

AccountingDepartment.com, a U.S.-based virtual outsourced accounting firm with 200+ clients and 140+ employees, was hampered by manual Excel and QuickBooks desktop workflows that made each client report take roughly an hour and limited the firm’s ability to scale into advisory services. To standardize processes and enable higher-value FP&A work, the firm selected Jirav, an advanced financial planning and analysis and reporting solution, to replace its piecemeal reporting stack.

With Jirav and vendor-led training, AccountingDepartment.com rolled the platform out to all 200+ clients in about two months, automating nightly imports for QuickBooks Online (and 5–10 minute imports for desktop), embedding notes in reports, and delivering visual dashboards and mixed financial/nonfinancial metrics. The result: per-report effort fell from about an hour to minutes, teams freed up to provide advisory and forecasting services, and within two months 10% of clients upgraded to advanced forecasting — demonstrating measurable efficiency gains and deeper client engagement powered by Jirav.
