Case Study: Maurice Blackburn Lawyers achieves faster, more accurate budgeting and forecasting with Maxiplan

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers - Customer Case Study

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Australia’s leading social justice law firm, was struggling with a budgeting and forecasting process that relied on hundreds of spreadsheets across more than 10 business units and 40 offices. The manual approach made it hard to manage complex payroll and revenue planning, especially for the firm’s non-time-recorded work, and consumed significant time and effort.

Maxiplan implemented its financial budgeting, planning and reporting solution to centralize data, automate consolidation, and support rolling forecasts. The result was a smoother, more accurate process with higher-quality budgets, better data visibility, and major time savings: the budgeting cycle was shortened from mid-March to early July to late April to mid-June, while giving Maurice Blackburn Lawyers greater flexibility to analyze and adjust financial information.
