Case Study: Fotenn Planning + Design achieves rapid, error‑free monthly financial reporting with QuickBooks Enterprise

QuickBooks Enterprise helps a leading Ottawa urban planning firm stay on top of financial milestones with set it and forget it report generation

FOTENN Planning & Urban Design, a leading urban planning and design firm based in Ottawa with a second office in Kingston, needed a stronger accounting solution to manage complex finances across five related companies. Under QuickBooks Pro they “hit a wall” with reporting and accounting functions, creating a bottleneck for meaningful, timely financial insights.

By upgrading to QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, finance and operations manager Chris Greenwood built a suite of configurable monthly reports and uses inter‑company functionality to create offsetting entries side‑by‑side, reducing data‑entry errors. Report generation now takes minutes instead of hours—“set it and forget it”—giving the firm faster, more accurate reporting and more time for financial analysis.
