The challenge

Young Living inherited FP&A software that could not meet its needs even with certified consultants, and its month-end close required seven days and eight people across 18 markets.

The solution

The company moved to Datarails to consolidate financial statements across its markets and automate reporting, enabling statements at the push of a button and built-in version control.

We do financial statements in our 18 markets with a push of a button.
