The Implementation
A Smooth Transition — Remarkably So After committing to Sage Intacct, the Gibault team was invited to the Leaf Software offices for a full-day onboarding session. The day was spent aligning on expectations — what Gibault needed from the system, and what Leaf would deliver. Amy's entire finance team was included from the beginning, ensuring broad buy-in and a shared understanding of the platform. For an experienced CFO who has lived through difficult software transitions, the smoothness of this implementation stood out. The rollout avoided the surprises and scope creep that often derail enterprise software deployments. Clear communication, a well-structured process, and a team that delivered on its commitments made the transition as smooth as any Amy had experienced in her career. "Anyone in my position has been through enough software transitions to know that things can happen that you might not anticipate. That did not happen with this. That was a big sigh of relief." — Amy Atchley , CFO
Results
From Data Entry to Strategic Analysis With Sage Intacct in place, Amy Ashley has reclaimed the time and mental space needed to do what a CFO is actually supposed to do: analyze the numbers, identify trends, and help leadership make informed decisions. The days of spending hours navigating clunky report writers just to produce a formatted financial statement are behind her. Sage Intacct's interface was a marked improvement over Great Plains — most tasks can be completed directly on the screen where the user is already working, rather than navigating through multiple separate modules. The system's ability to sort and filter by client number, department, location, and other dimensions gives Amy the flexibility to slice data exactly as she needs it. Reporting That Serves Every Audience One of the most meaningful improvements has been in how Gibault communicates financial information to its stakeholders. Amy can now produce polished, board-ready reports that convey information clearly and accessibly — without sacrificing the depth of detail available when she needs it.
