Case Study: Fairfield Residential achieves one-day variance reporting and strategic finance with Workday Adaptive Planning

Single-Click Reports Put Focus on Data Analysis, Strategic Decision-Making for Property Investment, Management Firm

Fairfield Residential, one of the largest multifamily real estate operators in the U.S., struggled to consolidate multiple revenue lines and make financial data easily accessible. Manual, time-consuming reporting processes delayed monthly close and kept finance focused on producing reports rather than driving strategic decision-making.

By implementing Adaptive OfficeConnect (part of Workday Adaptive Planning), Fairfield automated single-click reporting and centralized standardized, trustworthy financial data. The finance team shifted to analysis and planning—variance reporting dropped from eight days to one—and collaboration across departments improved, enabling finance to act as a strategic partner in a cyclical industry.
