Success Story

Bombora

Bombora gains visibility across its finances and operations to monitor its business in real time.

Background

Bombora is the leading provider of demographic and intent data, providing business-to-business (B2B) marketing and sales teams with valuable and actionable insights on companies actively in the market for specific products or services. Bombora was founded in 2014 and has experienced tremendous growth. Today, the company works with some of the world’s most renowned brands including: IBM, Forbes, Salesforce, Oracle and Microsoft.

Previous accounting challenges

The company outgrew its original accounting solution, QuickBooks, which couldn’t keep pace with the increasing demands of Bombora’s rapid growth, and its requirements for greater automation and control. The company needed a cloud-based solution to address its most pressing accounting challenges, including:

Achieving critical transparency and flexibility to view financial statements
Tracking and categorizing journal entries
Categorizing and monitoring expenses by departments
Cleaning up data on legacy software systems and accurately importing data
Testing and addressing known issues
Managing user permissions and segregation of duties

“It was a real pleasure to work with a support team that was both amenable and patient throughout the process.”
