The Challenge

Finance Processes Struggling to Keep Pace With Growth

Before InGenius Prep partnered with Folio3, they faced complex business challenges due to manual financial processes, disconnected systems, and workflows that could not keep pace with the organization. The result was delayed financial visibility, significant reconciliation effort, and limitations on the finance team’s ability to support continued growth.

Financial Close Taking Up to 60 Days

Month-end reporting relied on manual consolidation and reconciliation processes that made financial reporting difficult and delayed board-level visibility into business performance.

Revenue Recognition Managed Through Manual Workarounds

To track revenue recognition and deferred revenue, substantial manual effort was required, which led to increased complexity as the business continued to grow.

CRM and Financial Data Out of Sync

HubSpot and NetSuite lacked a structured connection, which resulted in duplicate data entry, reconciliation challenges, and inconsistencies between sales and financial records.

Cash Accounting Limiting Financial Maturity

The business needed to transition from cash-based accounting to a GAAP-compliant accrual model to support audits, improve reporting accuracy, and prepare for future growth initiatives.

The Solution

A Modern Financial System Built for Scale

Folio3 implemented NetSuite SuiteSuccess Financials First Standard to enhance InGenius Prep’s finance operations, then leveraged NetSuite OneWorld and Advanced Revenue Management to support multi-entity reporting, GAAP compliance, and automated revenue recognition. The solution resulted in a centralized platform that eliminated manual reconciliation and improved financial visibility across the business.

NetSuite OneWorld & Financial Management

Configured general accounting, subsidiary management, financial periods, banking, journal processing, and consolidated reporting within a single cloud ERP environment.

Cash-to-Accrual (GAAP) Transformation

Redesigned financial processes and reporting structures to support GAAP-compliant accrual accounting and improve audit readiness.

Automated Revenue Recognition

Implemented NetSuite Advanced Revenue Management to automate deferred revenue tracking and revenue recognition across the business.

Custom HubSpot Connector

Business Outcomes

Financial Systems That Improve Visibility and Increase Revenue

InGenius Prep replaced manual financial processes with a connected NetSuite platform that combined NetSuite OneWorld. Financial data is now accurate, reporting is streamlined, and leadership has better visibility across the business.

Financial Visibility and Faster Reporting

  • Migrating to NetSuite OneWorld, along with automated financial consolidation, reduced the month-end close time by 75%, which provides leadership with faster access to financial reports.
  • The consolidation of data resulted in a single version of truth that the finance team trusted. This centralization of financial data led to the delivery of timely, accurate board presentations.

Automation and Finance Productivity

  • Implementing a custom HubSpot connector and automated revenue recognition eliminated a manual 1,100-column reconciliation spreadsheet and saves 20 hours of senior finance effort every week.
  • Automating critical finance workflows reduced manual reconciliation and administrative work, so the finance team now focuses on analysis, forecasting, and strategic planning rather than data maintenance.

Growth and Scalability

  • Automating the Order-to-Cash process enabled InGenius Prep to support 20% year-over-year revenue growth without increasing finance headcount, and established a more scalable operating model.
  • NetSuite OneWorld provides foundation to launch a new international entity in Saudi Arabia and gives the business an ability to expand globally without the operational constraints of its previous systems.

Audit Readiness and Data Integrity

  • Standardizing data synchronization between HubSpot and NetSuite eliminated revenue plan data-entry errors and now keeps sales and finance records aligned automatically.
  • Transitioning to GAAP-compliant accrual accounting enabled the successful completion of the company's first two annual audits and built stronger governance and investment readiness.
