Case Study: Blue River PetCare achieves doubled accounting efficiency and saves 75 hours per month with Sage Intacct

Sage Intacct is just paw-some for Blue RiverPetCare

Blue River PetCare is a nationwide network of over 145 veterinary clinics across 31 states that grew rapidly through aggressive acquisitions and nearly 12x revenue growth since 2014. That scale exposed the limits of QuickBooks — multi-entity consolidations, intercompany settlements, and reporting relied on labor‑intensive Excel and paper processes, threatening to balloon headcount and slow decision-making.

By moving to Sage Intacct, Blue River automated multi-entity accounting and reporting, enabling templates, AP uploads, and payroll integrations that doubled accounting efficiency and eliminated about 75 hours of manual work per month. Monthly close time fell 42% to seven days, intercompany settlements moved from quarterly to monthly, and the finance team gained time to implement FP&A and lease solutions and deliver richer, real‑time insights to support continued acquisition-driven growth.
