Case Study
Midstream oil and gas company moves to Baker Tilly's platform
Baker Tilly implements Sage Intacct for Gravity Midstream.
Client background
Gravity Midstream's expertise centers on providing midstream logistics for crude and refined products. The company's oil and products experience lends itself to unique intermodal storage and logistics solutions focused on enhancing opportunity and optionality for their customers.
After a rigorous software and services evaluation, Gravity Midstream chose Baker Tilly over both on-premises and cloud ERP solutions, as well as other finance and accounting outsourcing providers, as the best fit for the company's needs.
With Baker Tilly and the Sage Intacct platform, we get the benefits of an enterprise grade accounting solution without having to hire and maintain a finance and accounting staff. As our business grows, Baker Tilly and Intacct will scale with us.Craig Peus, Chief Financial Officer, Gravity Midstream
The business challenge
- As a private equity backed start-up, Gravity Midstream did not have an in-house finance and accounting team that could handle the companies planned growth
- Gravity was in the process of acquiring multiple assets and needed sophisticated finance and accounting capabilities to manage those assets
- Gravity was not interested in hiring an in-house accounting team as their focus was on growth and acquisitions
I give Baker Tilly 10 out of 10 across the board for how their team handled the implementation.Craig Peus, Chief Financial Officer, Gravity Midstream
Strategy and solution
- Because of its limited functionality, QuickBooks was not a viable accounting solution, and Gravity saw the benefit of Baker Tilly's managed accounting services on the Sage Intacct ERP platform
- Baker Tilly and Sage Intacct will provide Gravity's management team with real-time insight into the company's financial and operational picture via custom reports and dashboards that are accessible at any time from anywhere
- Baker Tilly’s shared services model provides Gravity both with specialization and experience across the finance and accounting function, as well as scalability when transaction volumes increase or decrease
