Kith Media Chooses Intacct for Multi-Entity Financial Management in the Cloud
Intacct Streamlines Revenue Recognition and Expense Management for Fast-Growing Advertising and Publication Group
SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 5, 2013 – Intacct, a leader in cloud financial management and
accounting software, today announced that Kith Media LLC manages finances for its nine
business entities with Intacct. The move to Intacct has simplified the company’s multi-entity
financial management, automated revenue and expense recognition, and improved overall
operational and financial visibility.
Kith Media was formed in 2011 to take over financial management for several operating
subsidiaries that were divested from a large media conglomerate, including print phone
directories and internet-based local search services. Kith Media needed to maintain separate
books for each of its distinct business entities, while eliminating reporting work done outside of
the financial system, such as using Excel for reports.
“As a new business with a compressed timeline for launch, we were looking for a flexible and
economical cloud-based financial management system that could adapt to our changing needs,”
said Jim Henderson, chief financial officer at Kith Media. “Realizing our single-entity QuickBooks
application was inadequate, we evaluated both Intacct and NetSuite. We found that Intacct had
better revenue recognition and expense management capabilities for our business model, and
the best team and pricing structure to support a long-term partnership with us.”
Kith Media got up and running on Intacct in just four weeks, and found the system could easily
handle the company’s management structure and business processes. Intacct provides Kith
Media with powerful functionality for complex revenue recognition and expense management
processes – making these workflows seamless, efficient, and accurate. This is a significant
improvement over the business’ previous processes, which required a specialized fixed-asset

module and several manually prepared Excel spreadsheets in order to recognize revenues and
expenses over the life of directory publications in Alaska, Greater Cincinnati, and Hawaii.
Kith Media also gained valuable efficiencies by maintaining its pre-determined allocation rates in
Intacct and leveraging the system’s employee expense application. In the future, the company
plans to integrate Intacct with its other primary operating systems.
“Intacct has all the features and flexibility we could ask for in an accounting solution, and it is
very easy to use. After setting up our financial processes in Intacct, revenue and expense
management became simple and painless,” commented Henderson. “We appreciate that Intacct
is up and running 24x7, and we never have to worry about the system being down, getting
outdated, losing data, or requiring IT support.”
