Case Studies

Real Client Results — and What's Possible in Yours

Real results from an active client engagement, the QuickBooks warehouse we built for CPA firms, and projected scenarios by industry. See what we delivered, then explore what AI could do in your business.

A Real Engagement

Florida Physical Therapy Practice

Multi-location, owner-operated. Anonymized for client confidentiality.

The Challenge

Insurance deposits hit the bank with no way to tie them back to the payers and claims behind them. The office manager spent 15 to 20 hours a week reconciling payments by hand, tens of thousands of dollars in paper-check deposits sat unidentified on the books, and monthly financials arrived late when they arrived at all.

What We Built

Payer-Level Bank Reconciliation

Every insurance deposit automatically matched to the payer and remittance behind it, inside a HIPAA-safe data warehouse. No patient data leaves the protected environment.

Monthly Financial Close

A repeatable close process producing a real P&L from bank-verified payments instead of system estimates.

Payment Lag Visibility

Measured how long each insurance payer actually takes to pay, so cash flow planning rests on data instead of guesswork.

By Industry

What This Looks Like in Your Industry

CPA & Accounting Firms: The QuickBooks Firm Warehouse

A working product, approved by Intuit for production use — built, not projected

Every client's QuickBooks Online, synced nightly into one warehouse, with a dashboard that flags which clients' books need attention — so your staff stops pulling reports and starts reviewing them.

Where Firm Hours Go Today

  • Firm ActivityThe Drain
  • Pulling the same reports from every client fileOne login at a time
  • Answering "which clients are behind?"Tribal knowledge
  • Book problems found at year-endExpensive cleanup
  • Filing-season data assembled client by clientWeeks of assembly

Built and Working Today

Nightly Read-Only Sync

Every connected client refreshed overnight: customers, vendors, invoices, bills, and payments, plus QuickBooks' own trial balance, general ledger, P&L, and balance sheet. Nothing to pull, and client data is never commingled.

Attention Dashboard

One row per client, one column per problem: unreconciled accounts, uncategorized transactions, "Ask My Accountant" pileups, duplicate vendors, negative balances, stale bank feeds, and whether the books have ever been closed.

Client Data Packs in One Command

Trial balance, aged receivables and payables, and full general ledger detail for any client, as of any date. Same layout every time, straight from QuickBooks' own numbers, print-ready PDF. Your staff does the professional work; the pack ends the hunt for the numbers.

1099 Vendor Data in One Command

Vendor payment totals per client, with card payments excluded per 1099-K rules, refunds netted, a W-9 chase list, and a CSV ready for your filing software. Your firm reviews the amounts and files.

Firm-Wide Queries

"Every client's cash position" is one query, not twenty logins. Because every client's data lands in the same shape, a report written once runs against any client — or all of them.

Two-Minute Client Connection

Connecting a client rides on the QuickBooks Online Accountant access your firm already holds. No client meetings, no client passwords, and disconnecting is just as fast.

Pilot It: The Discovery Sprint

Including your two messiest, verified against books your staff already trusts

Intuit granted production approval in July 2026. The same architecture runs today inside the healthcare engagement above. No CPA firm has piloted the warehouse yet — that is what the Discovery Sprint is for. We are not a CPA firm: we do not prepare returns, audit, or attest. We build the data layer your licensed staff works from.

HOA & Property Management

The Back-Office Drain

  • Posting owner payments to the right unit and ledgerHours every week
  • Reconciling every association's bank accountsOne at a time
  • Monthly board packagesDays each, often late

The Systems We'd Build

Assessment-to-Deposit Reconciliation

Every owner payment, whether lockbox, ACH, portal, or paper check, tied to the unit and ledger behind it. Misapplied payments and early delinquencies get flagged while they are still small.

No property management case study yet. The reconciliation engine above is the same architecture running inside the healthcare engagement at the top of this page, where 98% of deposits get matched every month. An association portfolio is that problem multiplied: hundreds of small payments, dozens of bank accounts, one office team keeping it all straight.

Independent Insurance Agencies

The Reconciliation Drain

  • Downloading and wrangling carrier commission statements4-6 hrs/week
  • Tying direct-bill deposits back to policiesMostly skipped
  • Checking contingent and bonus checksTaken on faith
  • Producer splits computed by hand2-3 hrs/week, plus disputes

The Systems We'd Build

Commission Reconciliation Engine

Every carrier statement matched to the policies in your management system and to the bank deposit behind it. Underpayments and missed renewals get flagged with the detail to chase them.

No insurance case study yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. The engine above is the same architecture running today inside the healthcare engagement at the top of this page, where 98% of insurance deposits get matched monthly under HIPAA constraints. Agency commissions are a simpler version of the same many-payers-one-bank-account problem. The first agency engagement gets founder pricing in exchange for becoming the case study.

The insurance agency, property management, and law firm scenarios above are projections, not client results. The featured physical therapy case study reflects a real engagement, and the CPA tab describes the QuickBooks Firm Warehouse — a built, working product that has not yet run for a named client firm. Projected figures represent estimated value if all listed solutions are fully implemented and adopted — individual solutions deliver a portion of this total. Projections based on industry-average labor costs ($25–$45/hr blended) and published industry research. Actual results vary by business size, existing workflows, staff adoption, and market conditions.
