TCIA Moves from Month-End Lag to Real-Time Financial Clarity with Sage Intacct

Tree care professionals working outdoors

Sage Intacct plus financeSYNC delivers daily iMIS syncing, giving leaders weekly visibility instead of month-later surprises.

“Directors and managers are now able to see real-time revenue and expenses and discuss any issues on a weekly basis instead of a month after the issues arise.”

— Lauralee Powers, Vice President, Finance & Accounting, TCIA

A Mission Built on Safety, Training, and Industry Leadership

The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is the only national trade association for tree care companies in the U.S. Founded in 1938, TCIA supports the industry through advocacy, education, and standards development, serving more than 1,400 tree care company members and nearly 400 corporate members.

TCIA’s work depends on programs that help tree care businesses operate safely, build skilled teams, and grow sustainably. That means financial reporting is not just accounting. It is how TCIA funds programs, measures performance, and stays accountable to members.

The Challenge

TCIA had been using Sage 100 for many years, and it became harder to keep up with the need for timely, integrated financial data as systems expanded. With association software and other platforms in the mix, leadership wanted clearer visibility into revenue and expenses, without waiting for month-end.

The enSYNC Approach

enSYNC partnered with TCIA to implement Sage Intacct and connect financial activity with daily operations using financeSYNC, so reporting could be timely, repeatable, and reliable.

What Changed

  • A modern finance foundation. TCIA moved to Sage Intacct to support more responsive reporting and stronger visibility.
  • Cleaner integration, less friction. financeSYNC provides scheduled or on-demand syncs from iMIS® into Sage Intacct, reducing delays and manual workarounds.
  • Confidence through enablement. enSYNC guided the project with hands-on training, troubleshooting, and a steady implementation cadence.

“Our implementation team was amazing. They walked us through all the steps that needed to be done on our end in order to get us up and running. They were patient when I had complications and questions. They provided us with one-on-one training and troubleshooting, and when they couldn’t do that, they pointed us in the right direction to find the answers we needed.”

— Lauralee Powers, Vice President, Finance & Accounting, TCIA

Results That Show Up Every Week

With daily data flowing into Sage Intacct, directors and managers can review revenue and expenses in time to act. That shift supports faster course-correction, better weekly conversations, and clearer decisions tied to member value.
