Sycuan Casino Resort has chosen Wipfli’s tribal specialist group and its casino-specific edition of Sage’s Intacct financial management system. The move will modernize and transform Sycuan’s accounting and financial management.
Sage Intacct is a multi-tenant cloud financial management and accounting software solution and is the #1 customer-rated solution of its kind in the U.S. It is also the only financial application endorsed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Sycuan Operations Controller Chris Cousins said, “During the course of our digital transformation process, it became clear that the best-of-breed approach was Sycuan’s way forward. Best-of-breed allows for each stakeholder group to research, review and select solutions that are most impactful for them. Our accounting software and processes were outdated and not optimized for Sycuan’s current state and future growth vision. After considering several globally known enterprise brand solutions or an update of our current system, it became evident that that cost was multiples more and the solutions were not as proven in our industry. The clear choice was the combination of Wipfli’s tribal gaming expertise and Sage Intacct’s functionality.”
“This project will deploy industry-leading functionality, enable greater efficiencies through process automation, enhance data integrity and provide deeper insights via real-time business intelligence for every leader across the organization,” said Wipfli Senior Director of Tribal Business Services Jason Winkler.
“Tribal gaming enterprises have unique requirements because they operate in a high-stakes, highly regulated environment. As a firm, we spent several years investing in our ability to demonstrate proof of concept to early adopters of Sage Intacct in the tribal space,” said Wipfli’s Tribal Gaming Partner Grant Eve. “We have spent the last five years refining our process of project execution, building associates into implementation subject matter experts, and establishing raving fans as a references base. With our proprietary IntegrationEdge platform, the next five plus years is going to be an exciting opportunity to work with our tribal client’s in deploying enterprise level applications quickly and at a mid-market cost.”
