Broster Buchanan Employs Digital Advantage to Support Growth
Recruitment leader puts Sage Intacct and Percipient at the heart of digital transformation.
About Broster Buchanan
Broster Buchanan is a professional recruitment consultancy focused on solving its clients’ talent needs and supporting candidates in identifying opportunities which match their aspirations.
With operations including eight offices across the UK, Europe and North America, Broster Buchanan’s people are driven, real, brave, and future-focused, channelling innovation to deliver the best experience and ensure a superior service to its clients.
More than recruitment, the Broster Buchanan team fosters real-life connections in a constantly evolving workplace. With a wealth of blended experience from a broad set of industry sectors, its ethos is entrenched in understanding the story of a candidate’s career and aligning this with the commercial and talent needs of organisations. In turn, this brings confidence and capability, helping individuals and clients to boost performance.
We’re now seeing a whole host of benefits, including time and efficiency savings as a result of removing manual intervention. Bank requisitions in particular are seamless as the system just anticipates the process and delivers the necessary automation instantaneously. It is just so easy.
Modernising for a New Era
In the wake of massive growth, Broster Buchanan needed a business and financial management system which could deliver the intelligence, consolidation and reporting necessary to fuel its strategy and inform decision-making in a live environment. The team selected Sage Intacct to replace its previous solution which could no longer meet the fast-paced growth being seen by the business.
The system was recommended based on Broster Buchanan’s Head of Finance experience with the platform in a previous role at Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, thanks to its ease of use, and intuitiveness, converged with the scale which comes with a modern cloud-based application, as Helen Spring, Head of Finance at Broster Buchanan explains:
“With ambitious plans, Sage Intacct represented the perfect fit for our business. Staff can be up and running, using the system in a matter of minutes, and because it is the kind of system users can navigate instinctively, staff can quickly become empowered to utilise the insights to fuel decisions and shape performance.”
Integration & Automation
Using Percipient’s Cloud Connect API-based integration framework, Percipient’s consultancy team integrated Sage Intacct with Broster Buchanan’s timesheets and CRM systems for seamless automation and complete visibility. However, the real value for Broster Buchanan comes in the form of intelligence and analysis, as Helen sets out:
“In just a few simple clicks we can drill down into an in-depth analysis of a particular organisation, brief, candidate, or area for development. This insight can be used to respond to requests for information from the executive team, look into the ‘why’ behind any anomalies, or simply reassure the business that we’re on track against targets.
“We’re now seeing a whole host of benefits, including time and efficiency savings as a result of removing manual intervention. Bank requisitions in particular are seamless as the system just anticipates the process and delivers the necessary automation instantaneously. It is just so easy. By clicking on a tab, we can drill down into as much detail as we need, and as and when we acquire new entities, we simply add another tab.
“From both a regulatory and business management standpoint, our reports have to be watertight, and Sage Intacct means that we have this assurance at all times. This in turn empowers our team to focus on optimising performance and growing the business.”
Percipient has proved, once again, to be a trusted digital partner, bringing a wealth of value. For us, the real USP is that they not only have in-depth knowledge and expertise around Sage Intacct, but real-world experience in the finance industry.
The Percipient Advantage
“Percipient has proved, once again, to be a trusted digital partner, bringing a wealth of value. For us, the real USP is that they not only have in-depth knowledge and expertise around Sage Intacct, but real-world experience in the finance industry.
“They are supportive with first-rate knowledge, and their consultancy is incredibly impressive. They challenge us and pose new ideas, and this understanding and empathy means they are able to foresee issues, navigate complexity and deliver capabilities which are aligned with our business and its financial management processes. Percipient not only understood our needs from the outset, but demonstrated tenacity and professionalism in meeting, and often exceeding, our expectations.
Pursuing Growth Ambitions
“Ultimately Sage Intacct is a robust, flexible, and scalable platform which will continue to support us in the long term. It makes sense of complexities to deliver intelligent, in-depth insights, and a means of applying intelligence to investigate the why behind the figures.
“It has truly facilitated seamless operations for our finance team and beyond. We have an immense amount of confidence when it comes to understanding, developing, and expanding our business, and we now have the scope and flexibility to pivot and expand as our plans dictate.”
