Key Challenges for Turnkey

Turnkey faced many of the same challenges most companies run into after launching, finding product market fit, and scaling quickly...the books were a mess.

The financials were being managed with a combination of Freshbooks, spreadsheets, and the help of a traditional CPA. The primary issue, in this case, was that the CPA was looking at things from an accounting perspective only, not an operational one. They didn’t have solutions to track invoices, expenses, and bill pay.

Turnkey needed to take the next step, clean up their books, and get things in order for tax season.

Choosing Decimal

Due to the nature of their operations, it was clear they needed help. It was also clear that bringing someone in-house wasn’t necessarily going to solve the problem.

The Decimal team evaluated every operational function and helped determine what Turnkey’s specific business needed. It was that expertise and confidence that made Decimal the right choice for their bookkeeping operations.

Implementing Decimal

“The implementation process was incredibly smooth.” according to Paul Barash, VP of Operations & Account Services.

The Decimal Difference

"It has saved me hours and hours per week"

“Decimal changed the way our business operated behind the scenes. A perfect example was the implementation of Expensify and the change management process implemented by Decimal’s team. It has saved me hours and hours per week. We went from submitting excel sheets and attachments to a fully streamlined process that is reconciled by the Decimal team every day,” says Paul.

The Decimal team also gave tremendous guidance on how to allocate overhead, account for revenue and expenses related to individual jobs, and provide the Turnkey team with the reports and financial views needed to make strategic decisions.

“We can now see profitability at an individual job level, it was a huge win. I know I’d be really screwed without these tools. To have our Decimal accounting manager as that advisor, she fills in the gaps. They are an extension of the team, on a daily basis when things come, without you guys I don’t know what we would do.”
