Mélanie Larouche, Controller and HR-OHS Assistant, and Claude Lavoie MBA, Administration and Finance Director of Groupe Alfred Boivin, have been using Avantage Integration since 2002 to manage accounting and CCQ payroll activities. By integrating Avantage Financier in 2004, Ms. Larouche simplified budget preparation, financial statement consolidation and cash flow forecasting.
“Financial consolidation was a real headache and could only be done once a year. Now, with the same tool I use to prepare my budgets, I have access to a module that lets me consolidate on a monthly basis in just a few minutes.”
Avantage Financier, a solution that is fully integrated into the Avantage SMB Suite, not only saves us time and money, but also lets us produce customized professional financial statements, create weekly cash flow forecasts and compare actual numbers to the budget on a monthly basis.
“Being able to carry out these activities has helped us to save up to 25% on our financial management expenses.”
Ms. Larouche is very happy to have chosen Avantage Financier.
“This solution, which is usually available to accounting experts, is flexible and very complete. It efficiently provides direct access to our company’s financial information according to our needs. This lets us strengthen our position with financial institutions and improve our decision making.”
