Case Study: Alder Partners, LLC achieves 3X growth and $100,000 annual savings with Sage Intacct

Sage Intacct helps Alder Partners get financially fit for further growth

Alder Partners, LLC is an independent Planet Fitness franchisee operating 20+ gyms across Massachusetts and Georgia that grew rapidly—opening several clubs a year—but was hampered by decentralized QuickBooks ledgers, slow monthly closes, and limited real-time visibility. As the company targeted continued 30–40% annual growth, leadership realized they needed a centralized, audit-ready multi-entity financial system to scale efficiently.

Working with RSM, Alder Partners implemented Sage Intacct and integrated POS, bank, and ADP payroll feeds to automate reconciliations and journal entries. The result: the monthly close dropped from three weeks to 10 days, bookkeeping time shifted 50% toward forward-looking analytics, cash forecasting and budget accuracy improved (≈10%), about 1.5 FTEs were saved, and the company avoided roughly $100,000 in annual finance costs while growing threefold.
