How Grassroots IT Transformed Their Financials From "Lumpy" to Lucid

Written by Eve Zaidan | Oct 2, 2020 10:01:20 AM

Grassroots IT is an industry-renowned provider of managed IT support and cloud solutions, based in Queensland, Australia. Grassroots IT provide businesses with renowned tech support, everywhere from IT strategy and planning, down to cybersecurity and driving complete digital transformations.

Challenge

Grassroots IT were using ConnectWise [Manage] and MYOB (later QuickBooks Desktop). They were manually re-keying invoice data, correcting human errors, and facing a "lumpy" profit and loss, which was costing their small business the precious time, energy, and money, that they simply didn't have.

Solution

When Ben Love, CEO, Grassroots IT, came to Wise-Sync, we did more than simply provide a solution; we performed the ultimate migration. We moved Grassroots IT from QuickBooks Desktop to cloud accounting package Xero, and implemented Wise-Sync and Wise-Pay, which involved an entire restructure of their chart of accounts, inventory, and more.
