The Challenge
Scaling revenue and operations without a dedicated finance team
Unify, an AI-native go-to-market platform, has grown from 20 to 80 employees over the past year. Despite this rapid expansion, the company operates without a dedicated finance team. This lean structure posed significant challenges in managing financial operations, particularly around vendor analysis, monthly flux analysis, and accounts receivable (AR) aging.
"We couldn't wait days to get insights," explains Alexander Lucey. "Our business moves too quickly for anyone to spend hours digging through spreadsheets. We needed a solution that could give us answers immediately."
"Manual processes just weren't scaling with us," says Will Stewart, BizOps Lead. "We needed a solution that could operate in real time, deliver insights instantly, and highlight opportunities without spending hours sifting through data. At the same time, we didn't have the bandwidth to implement complex financial software or rebuild our operations from the ground up."
Solution
Concourse AI agents provide scalable financial insights natively on top of QuickBooks
Concourse connected seamlessly to Unify's QuickBooks instance, providing real-time access to transactions, memos, and custom classifications. Its AI agents didn't just summarize data—they identified patterns, highlighted trends, and surfaced anomalies across vendor spend, departmental activity, and project-level financials.
"Concourse isn't just pulling numbers," says Will Stewart. "It's analyzing them, finding trends, and giving us insights that would take a full-time analyst weeks to generate."
Vendor Analysis
Concourse detects duplicated services, flags vendors with rising costs, and highlights emerging trends across multiple spend categories. This helps Unify optimize vendor relationships and reduce unnecessary costs.
GL Flux & Commentary
The AI automatically flags unusual movements, explains variance between accounts and departments, and generates narrative commentary in seconds, replacing manual Excel and PowerPoint work.
AR Aging Reports
Concourse provides instant visibility into receivable balances, cash conversion cycles, and customer payment patterns, enabling faster, data-driven decisions on collections and cash management.
Implementation Timeline
Day 1 Seamless five-minute integration with QuickBooks
Unify connected its QuickBooks instance to Concourse in under five minutes through the native integration. No engineering resources were required, and the AI agents immediately began analyzing the company's financial data.
Week 1 Enhanced financial analysis capabilities
The team started using Concourse for vendor analysis, GL flux commentary, and AR aging reports. Tasks that once took hours were now completed in minutes, freeing the team to focus on strategic initiatives.
Month 1-2 Accelerated insights and increased efficiency
Within the first two months, Unify was generating financial insights three times faster while reducing manual work by over 80%. Concourse became an indispensable partner for the BizOps team, handling the heavy lifting of financial analysis.
“We're now able to act on trends instantly, rather than waiting for data to be compiled. It's transformed how I spend my time and how we run our finances day-to-day.”
— Will Stewart, BizOps Lead
