Case Study: Slater & Gordon Lawyers achieves greater budget visibility and robust financial planning with Maxiplan

Slater & Gordon - Customer Case Study

Slater & Gordon Lawyers, a major Australian consumer law firm with more than 1,200 staff across 70+ locations, needed to replace a stretched spreadsheet-based budgeting and reporting process as rapid growth and increasing complexity pushed its existing system to the limit. The firm turned to Maxiplan for a more robust, web-based financial budgeting, planning and reporting platform that could support its distributed workforce.

Maxiplan implemented a structured budget model split between labour and cost planning, with payroll data imported directly into the system and expenses allocated across offices, states and practice groups. The result was greater visibility into individual general ledger accounts, easier collaboration across locations, and simpler fortnightly payroll analysis for comparing budget assumptions to actuals, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and improving the speed and accuracy of forecasting.
