Case Study: Beers + Cutler achieves standardized, real-time reporting and scalable growth with Thomson Reuters Elite

Enterprise Reporting And Analytics Foundation Helps Manage Growth

Beers + Cutler, a Washington, DC–area accounting and consulting firm of more than 300 people that doubled in size over five years, needed faster, standardized access to performance data. Although their Enterprise financial system collected extensive information, managers relied on mid‑ and month‑end reports and departments produced inconsistent metrics, while only two financial analysts handled all report requests.

The firm implemented Thomson Reuters Elite’s Enterprise Reporting and Analytics Foundation (RAF) and the InfoView portal, standardizing four core reports (Realization, WIP, AR, Time) that can be sliced for specific managers and auto‑distributed securely. Admins act as reporting gatekeepers to refresh and push on‑demand reports, cutting ad‑hoc requests by ~90%, allowing real‑time decisions, preserving staffing levels during rapid growth, improving billing timeliness, and boosting staff engagement and succession planning.
