A dental group went from 18 clinics to 36, and the budget, the board reporting and the covenant scenarios kept up.

“MCC helped us implement Vena to streamline budgeting, reporting, and forecasting across our 25 clinics. Even in the first year of implementation, we significantly reduced the time and manual effort required for our annual budget process - replacing multiple Excel versions with a much more efficient workflow.”

Monthly reporting moved out of manual Excel and into Vena, and now it flags when someone changes a closed period in NetSuite.

“I found inconsistencies from how I was doing things before, and now this forces a level of consistency. And frankly it better highlights when I find things that we have gone back and changed in NetSuite in closed periods. All of a sudden, wait a minute, this looks different than how I reported last month. So it helps me catch things that we shouldn't have done.”

Three entities, two ERPs, and the hardest line in the consolidation finally shows its math, after moving from Planful to Vena.

“I think Vena is much more flexible for our needs and more robust than Planful was. All we did with Planful was upload trial balances. So the fact that Vena has all of our general ledger detail right there is extremely helpful.”

Monthly financial statements went from 3 to 5 days of evenings and weekends to about 20 minutes, ready the day the books close.

“Last year, we worked with Charlie and MCC to automate our IFRS financial statements and monthly reporting in Vena. Previously, generating statements took 3-5 days with late nights and weekends. Now, it runs in under 20 minutes - saving time, reducing errors, and ensuring consistency. We also automated our reporting package, allowing earlier insights and better review before close. Charlie and his team supported us every step of the way.”

Told not to buy yet, and why.

“As a CFO building out finance from the ground up, I was looking for strategic clarity and practical guidance-not a sales pitch. Charlie took the time to understand both our current state and where we're heading. He helped me validate that staying lean with Excel and a fractional resource was the right approach for now. His advice was thoughtful, candid, and grounded in real-world experience. I'd recommend Charlie to any finance leader navigating FP&A system decisions.”
