From Four Weeks to 8 Days: How an Organic Snack Brand Landed $10M

How a Mid-Sized Organic Snack Company Cut Its Close Time by 80% and Secured $10M in Funding

When a growing organic snack company began struggling with its month-end close, the cracks started to show. What should have been a routine process stretched into more than four weeks — delaying reports, straining investor relationships, and putting future funding at risk.

“We knew we had a great product. But our financial processes weren’t keeping up with the growth. It was affecting everything — especially investor confidence.”

The Challenges

  • Manual, outdated workflows led to errors and endless delays

  • Poor COGS visibility meant margins and inventory costs were often a mystery

  • Investor skepticism grew with every missed reporting deadline

The company needed a faster, smarter way to manage its financials — and they needed it yesterday.

Building a Foundation for Financial Clarity

The company partnered with us to turn things around. Together, we focused on three key areas:

Real-time COGS Tracking
We implemented an automated variance analysis system, giving teams instant visibility into their cost of goods sold. No more hunting for data — discrepancies could be spotted (and fixed) right away.

Standardized Cost Accounting Workflows
We overhauled accounting processes, removing redundancies and aligning teams with clear, consistent procedures. Collaboration improved, errors dropped, and the month-end scramble became a thing of the past.

Powerful, Visual Reporting Dashboards
We built investor-friendly dashboards that turned complex financials into simple, compelling visuals — restoring trust and making financial performance easy to showcase.

The Results

🚀 Close Time Slashed From 4+ Weeks to 8 Days
Administrative burdens shrank, and timely, accurate reports became the new normal.

🚀 22% Boost in Margin Visibility
Better COGS insights led to sharper, more reliable reporting — giving leadership a clearer view of operational health.

🚀 $10M Capital Raised
With renewed investor confidence and transparent financials, the company secured a major funding round — unlocking new growth opportunities.

“Today, we don’t just feel organized — we feel powerful. Our financials tell a story investors believe in. And that’s changed everything.”
