Challenges

According to Hampton, the company faced several challenges with their financial reporting system. One of the main issues was the lack of flexibility in the reporting templates, which hindered their ability to customize reports. Standard reporting exports of QuickBooks were rigid, inflexible, and sometimes confusing, since its interpretation also requires an accounting background, making it even more challenging for them to extract meaningful insights from the data.

In an attempt to streamline their financial reporting, they also tried to use multiple ready-for-use SaaS tools that would allow them to interpret financial data based on their requirements. Unfortunately, this process failed, as there were no tools available on the market that could meet their needs which only brought more confusion and required additional efforts on reconciling them all. As a result, there was no comprehensive reporting, but various formats of reports, analysis of which was time-consuming and prone to errors.

Another challenge the company faced was with Stripe, a payment processing platform. They found it difficult to cross-check the main cash revenue stream with QuickBooks accruals data, which made it hard for them to get a clear picture of their financial performance. In other words, they needed to translate “accounting” to FP&A reporting, especially when they realized the need for budgeting and planning to make informed business decisions based on the data.

Solutions

Automated pipes unified every source into one compliant pack: P&L, cash flow, balance sheet, variance and a no-fuss dashboard.

Automation through Fuel’s integration

Fuelfinance automated Hampton’s finances by funneling data from QuickBooks, Stripe, Ramp, and bank statements into its internal database. The result is a tailored Google Sheets suite—P&L, cash flow, balance sheet, budget variance, and a dashboard—built for non‑accountants.

Hampton now spends under an hour a month supplying the few extra inputs needed.

Customization

Fuelfinance built GAAP‑compliant report templates tailored to Hampton’s exact needs, grounded in industry best practices. Working closely with the team, they made sure every report was clear, concise, and insight-rich.

The result: actionable finance packs that drive smarter decisions and growth.

Dedicated financial manager

An experienced Fuelfinance manager prepared and oversaw every Hampton report, tailoring each to the company’s needs. A bench of specialists was on call for ad‑hoc questions and metric deep dives. Result: Hampton always had the clarity to make informed decisions and hit its goals.

“Love their monthly reports they make for my business. Nice team.”
