Overview

Finance and accounting teams run into the same wall everywhere: not enough local talent, rising labor costs, and internal staff stretched too thin to keep up with backlogs. Connext has solved that problem for a Hawaii-based bank, a Florida-based investment firm, a Hawaii-based supermarket chain, and a private university alike.

This one-pager pulls the real, verified results from all four partnerships into a single snapshot, so you can see exactly what a co-managed finance and accounting team delivers before your first conversation with us.

Key Highlights

Across all four engagements, the pattern holds:

  • A Hawaii-based bank built a 17-person offshore team spanning accounting, loan servicing, and ServiceNow development, with monthly performance reviews keeping it aligned to bank standards.
  • A Florida-based investment firm filled highly technical roles, Fund Accountant, Senior Accountant, FP&A Analyst, and Treasury Analyst among them, that its own U.S. labor market couldn't supply.
  • A Hawaii-based supermarket chain handed AP/AR, bank reconciliations, and invoicing to its offshore team, freeing local staff for financial analysis and strategic planning.
  • A private university in Hawaii filled urgent roles in as few as 3 days and cleared financial and admissions backlogs that had stalled operations.
  • Every engagement runs on the same co-managed model: clients direct the work, Connext handles HR, payroll, compliance, and day-to-day operations.

The Challenge

A company-wide hiring freeze left the client’s project teams without enough in-house estimators to keep pace with a growing pipeline of construction and engineering bids. In an industry where precise cost estimating is the foundation of effective project budgeting and resource allocation, every delayed estimate risked a missed submission deadline — and a lost contract.

The Approach

Connext matched the client with independent contractors who specialized in construction cost estimating, then helped rebuild a structured, multi-step budgeting process from the ground up:
