Overview
Artisan Talent, a national staffing agency specializing in creative and marketing roles, faced long-standing issues with financial reporting, visibility, and aging receivables. When the CFO and his team exited the company, the team urgently needed a new solution that could understand their complex tech stack and industry nuances. TydeCo™ provided that answer. By replacing outdated systems like Great Plains with QuickBooks Online and integrating it with Bullhorn and RAMP, Artisan Talent now has a real-time view of its operations, faster payment cycles, and cleaner data to support strategic growth.
Partnering with TydeCo™ allowed the team to not only regain control of finances but also reclaim time and energy spent chasing reports or reconciling outdated processes. The impact was immediate, and the long-term benefits continue to grow.
Our data is now clean, clear, and accessible.
Challenge
Artisan Talent struggled with outdated tools and an insulated finance team.
- Used Great Plains, which generated PDF reports with no usable data
- Reports lacked client-level insights needed for decision-making
- Three-person finance team was resistant to change
- Invoices and collections were difficult to track
- Aging balances from previous years remained unresolved
Leadership couldn’t guide the business or adjust to trends due to limited visibility into performance and cash flow.
We know exactly where our money is.
Solution
TydeCo™ replaced outdated systems and introduced a tech-savvy, service-oriented accounting team.
- Migrated from Great Plains to QuickBooks Online
- Integrated Bullhorn for seamless invoicing and data syncing
- Used RAMP for flexible, low-cost freelancer payments
- Assigned dedicated finance partners, including Tanya and Kathy
- Monitored VMS platforms to ensure all talent hours were billed and paid
This new system allowed Artisan Talent to reduce errors, track invoices, and make fast, confident decisions.
