Unlocking Growth: How Xact’s Expertise Helped Nomad Built Focus and Scale

Nadia Viljoen 12 December 2024

The Challenge: Growth Brings Complexity

Jake Carter and Jack Scoles, co-owners of Nomad Built, had built an enviable reputation on the Sunshine Coast for crafting beautiful homes. Their dedication to quality and their clients’ satisfaction drove rapid growth, but it also brought challenges.

As their workload expanded, they found themselves stretched thin trying to manage the books while staying on top of projects. The financial side of the business, from payroll to cost tracking, started to feel like a full-time job—one that took them away from what they loved: leading their teams onsite to bring their clients’ dreams to life.

Adding to the pressure, they had invested in tools like Procore for cost tracking but were struggling to integrate it with their existing systems. They needed an expert who could streamline their finance workflows and make their tech stack work for them.

 

The Solution: Leveraging Technology for Growth

Jake and Jack turned to Xact’s support, and from the start, the focus was on building a strong foundation for their back-office finance operations.

Here’s how we helped:

1. System Overhaul: Transitioned from QuickBooks to Xero for a more robust and scalable accounting platform.
2. Integration Expertise: Helped with the Integration of Xero and Procore, and setting up a streamlined cost-tracking system that provided better financial visibility.
3. Comprehensive Support: Took over payroll, accounts payable (AP) management, cost tracking, and BAS lodgements, removing the day-to-day financial admin burden from Jake and Jack.
