We used to make decisions with numbers that were already three weeks old. Now we see our cash position and margins in real time — it's completely changed how fast we can move

The Challenge
Meridian's finance team was running budgets and forecasts through disconnected spreadsheets across five business units. Leadership had no single view of cash flow or margin trends until month-end close — by then, corrective decisions were already too late
Our Approach
We rebuilt Meridian's FP&A function from the ground up: a unified rolling 13-week cash flow model, standardized unit-level P&L reporting, and a driver-based forecasting model tied to real-time sales and production data.
The Result
Forecast accuracy improved from 68% to 94% within two quarters. Budget variance dropped by 31%. Leadership now reviews live financial dashboards weekly instead of waiting on month-end reports.
