Case Study: GoGuardian achieves 800% ROI and 80% faster monthly close with Sage Intacct

GoGuardian graduates to robust finance system with Sage Intacct

GoGuardian is an award-winning cloud-based edtech company that manages Chromebooks and other classroom devices for over 4 million students and 120,000 educators across all 50 U.S. states. Rapid growth exposed limits in its QuickBooks-based, spreadsheet-driven finance processes—manual contract conversions, invoicing, and third‑party posting slowed revenue collection, stretched month‑end close to 31 days, and left cash visibility and revenue recognition fragmented.

Working with RKL eSolutions, GoGuardian implemented Sage Intacct with tight Salesforce, Bill.com, and Expensify integrations to automate order‑to‑cash, billing, revenue recognition, and AP/expense workflows. The result: monthly close shortened to five days (A/R closed in one day), DSO cut from 59 to 29 days, $7M increase in operating cash flow, an 800%+ ROI in year one, and the ability to scale through 2x revenue growth while delaying fundraising.
