Your Acumatica Reporting is Drowning in Excel

Your Acumatica ERP is powerful for operations, but its native reporting is limited. So your finance team compensates:

  • Spending hours moving data into Excel every week
  • Month-close takes forever — 4–5 days when it should take 1–2
  • Visibility is fragmented — GL, A/R, A/P data scattered across multiple dumps
  • You’ve considered hiring a BI developer ($80K/year salary), but can’t commit yet
  • Dashboards are outdated by the time they’re made (manual updates = delays)

Real Results from Acumatica Companies

📊 Case Study 1: Mid-Market Distributor

Industry: Wholesale Distribution
Company Size: $45M revenue, 120 employees
Timeline: 5 weeks
Investment: $8K

The Problem

  • Month-close process took 5 days (CFO working nights to finalize GL consolidation)
  • No visibility into multi-entity GL consolidation — had to manually compile data
  • Finance team spending 20+ hours/week in Excel moving data, checking for errors
  • Variance analysis happened after month-close, too late to adjust operations

The Solution

  • Built 3 Power BI dashboards:
    • GL Consolidation Rollup: Real-time view of all company ledgers + variance to budget
    • Variance Analysis: Actual vs budget by department, drill-down to GL account level
    • Cash Flow Forecast: 13-week rolling forecast based on Acumatica AR/AP
  • Connected directly to Acumatica SQL database (auto-refresh every 4 hours)
  • Trained finance team on maintenance and drill-down analysis

  • Acumatica reports were too technical for operations to self-service
  • Monthly board meetings were delayed because sales & margin reports took days to prepare

    • Inventory by Location: Stock levels, reorder points, slow movers
    • Sales Performance: YTD sales vs forecast, margin %, customer mix
    • Production Status: Open work orders, completion %, labor variance

Who’s Building Your Dashboards?

I’m Bogdan Pavlovic, a Power BI specialist with 6+ years of consulting experience. But more importantly, I focus exclusively on Acumatica companies.

Unlike generalist Power BI agencies that work with 10 different ERPs, I’ve chosen to go deep on Acumatica. That means I understand your financial workflows, your data structure, and your reporting pain points. I connect Acumatica to Power BI and build the Acumatica dashboards and financial reports your team actually uses.

Why Acumatica-Only?

When you hire a specialist, you get someone who has solved your exact problems dozens of times. That experience translates to speed, accuracy, and best practices you can’t get from a generalist.

  • Power BI Certified (Microsoft)
  • 6+ Years of Power BI consulting
  • Acumatica Specialist — 100% focus on Acumatica + Power BI
  • Financial Reporting Expert — GL, A/R, A/P, consolidation
  • Hands-On — I train your team, not hand off
  • Transparent — Fixed pricing, clear timelines, no surprises

“I believe in giving businesses the financial visibility they need to make smarter decisions. If your Acumatica reporting is holding you back, let’s fix it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical implementation really take? +

4–6 weeks for a full project. We move fast because we already know Acumatica’s schema and architecture. If you start with a discovery call, the total time is 5–7 weeks. Generic Power BI agencies typically take 3–6 months because they have to learn your data first.

Can you work with our Acumatica cloud instance? +

Yes, absolutely. We connect to your Acumatica database directly via SQL. Whether you’re on Acumatica Cloud or on-premise, we build against your database. The only requirement is that we need read-only access to your Acumatica SQL database.

What if we want to make changes after go-live? +

That’s what monthly support is for. Small changes (adding a metric, changing a filter, new chart) are included in the $200–1,000/month support package. Major changes (new dashboards, redesigns) get their own scope and pricing, but you get a discount because I already know your system.

How much does it cost to maintain dashboards after you’re done? +

$200–1,000 per month (optional). This covers updates to new data, new metrics, data fixes, and email/call support. OR, we can train your team to maintain simple updates themselves — you stay engaged at whatever level works for you.

Can we try it before we buy? (Proof of Concept) +

Yes, we recommend it. Start with a free 1-hour discovery call to audit your setup and scope the work. Then, if you want to de-risk, do a PoC: build 1 dashboard in 1–2 weeks for $1.5–3K. Usually, the PoC converts to a full project, but it doesn’t have to. You’ll know if Power BI is right for you.

Why is this cheaper than hiring a BI developer? +

A full-time BI developer costs $80K+/year, plus 3+ months to hire and onboard. A $6K project with me delivers the same outcome in 5–6 weeks with no hiring overhead. Plus, you only pay for what you need. If next year you need updates, you pay maintenance ($200–1,000/month), not a full salary.

Do we own the dashboards, or do you? +

You own them completely. The dashboards live in your Power BI environment. There’s no licensing lock-in, no per-seat fees, and no dependency on me to maintain them (though I’m happy to support you if you want). You can hire another consultant to modify them, or your team can learn Power BI themselves.

What if our Acumatica setup is complex? Will it cost more? +

Maybe, but probably not. Complexity usually comes from things like multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations, or custom fields. Since I specialize in Acumatica, these are standard patterns for me. The discovery call will identify any complexity upfront, and we’ll adjust pricing if needed.
