Case Study: a photography and publishing company achieves monthly budget-to-actual reporting and finance-owned budgeting with the True Sky Financial Model

Photography and Publishing Company - Customer Case Study

True Sky Inc. worked with a photography and publishing company that produces school photography, yearbooks, memory books and planners. The customer struggled to expand budget input beyond the CFO, could only produce a single annual detailed budget, and lacked the ability to monitor budget versus actual on a monthly basis.

True Sky Inc. implemented its Financial Model and reporting templates with an Excel end user interface and seamless source-data integration, placing ownership with the finance group so they can build input sheets and reports without IT or vendor support. The solution enabled monthly budget-to-actual reporting for both companies, broadened budget input to include department managers, and reduced administrative effort while keeping IT involvement minimal.
