In 2018, Jayme Rose Earhart founded Elevate Consulting Group, a firm providing outsourced accounting services for growing businesses. The decision to establish her own company came from a single core belief: Businesses struggle, not because of their operations, but because of the infrastructure that powers them.
“I started Elevate Consulting Group because I kept seeing the same challenges over and over again,” said Earhart. “Business owners couldn't get calls returned from their CPA, tax strategy was often reactive instead of proactive, and many bookkeeping engagements lacked the oversight needed to ensure accuracy and clear financial insight.
“I also saw businesses struggling to navigate technology changes without a clear plan for the future,” she continued. “I built Elevate to bridge the gaps. We bring accountability, education, and modern financial systems to today’s ambitious business owners.”
The Elevate team uses Intuit Enterprise Suite to help business owners find clarity and scale confidently through organization and a clear strategy.
“We found that Intuit Enterprise Suite could deliver the advanced functionality growing businesses need, while maintaining the ease of use and efficiency that users are accustomed to in QuickBooks Online.”
Championing Intuit Enterprise Suite
As QuickBooks Online experts, the Elevate team understands the valuable benefits delivered by the cloud-based financial and accounting software, but a few telltale signs convinced them that many clients needed a more powerful platform.
“We were constantly implementing additional third-party platforms to fill gaps in our clients' systems,” said Earhart. “As businesses grew, their technology stacks became increasingly complex and expensive. It became clear that many clients needed a more integrated solution to support their growth.”
Earhart and her staff faced a crossroads. Should they advise their clients to stretch the entry-level software to fit their expanding needs or take on the massive disruption of implementing traditional ERPs? After all, ERPs can be expensive, difficult, and time consuming to adopt, and often require multiple steps to complete routine accounting tasks.
For Elevate, the answer was simple. Go with the perfect third option; the one that helps growing businesses manage multiple entities, reporting systems, and operational workflows in one place: Intuit Enterprise Suite.
Benefits of transitioning clients to Intuit Enterprise Suite
Helping growing businesses move from QuickBooks Online to Intuit Enterprise Suite has been a streamlined experience.
In addition to the platform feeling familiar and easy to use, Earhart said the Elevate team and her clients are finding that the capabilities previously required from multiple third-party applications are now consolidated into one system, creating greater control and visibility. Another significant benefit? Intuit Enterprise Suite’s AI-powered insights and automation, which drastically changed the way Elevate’s clientele operate.
“Intercompany transactions have been a game changer for many of our multi-entity clients. Businesses with 10 or more entities are often saving 40+ hours per month by eliminating manual entries and reconciliations. Built-in accounts payable and purchase order approval workflows have replaced the need for multiple third party applications.”
Other benefits include the following:
- Smoother month-end close, especially for multi-entity organizations.
- Faster finalized financials.
- More easily managed consolidated reporting.
- Greater insights into business performance, as well as more informed decision- making, thanks to dimensions and project-based reporting.
Ultimately, Elevate’s efforts to help clients implement, organize, and optimize Intuit Enterprise Suite for their unique needs are opening the door to bigger and better opportunities for everyone.
“Intuit Enterprise Suite represents the future of mid-market accounting systems, just as QuickBooks Online became the go-to platform for small businesses,” said Earhart. “This platform is ahead of the curve in delivering enterprise-level functionality with modern solutions that are powerful yet accessible.”
