About Client

Acktify is a U.S.-based mid size business that buys from distributors and sells directly to consumers on online platforms like Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Jet.com. Operating in a high-volume, low-margin space, Acktify serves customers across the U.S. and Canada, handling thousands of orders with a lean internal team.

Challenges

No ERP in Place

Lacked a system to match POs, invoices, and receipts -leading to financial blind spots.

Manual AP Processes

Relied on spreadsheets and staff trust to process payments, increasing the risk of costly errors.

Expensive & Unstable Talent

U.S.-based F&A hires were costly and frequently turned over, making it hard to retain process knowledge.

Limited Onshore Capacity

Small onshore team was stretched thin across AP, reporting, and month-end close.

Delayed Reporting

With fragmented data and no automation, report generation was slow and inconsistent.

Solutions

Geo-Diversified Offshore Team

MYCPE ONE helped Acktify build a geo-diversified team across 3 cities - Ahmedabad (9 members), with additional team members in Rajkot (3 members) and Vadodara (3 Members). This reduced dependency on one location and improved retention.

Structured ERP-like Workflows

In the absence of an ERP, the offshore team implemented Excel-driven workflows to validate invoices, match POs, and create audit trails, building discipline into the procure-to-pay cycle.

Direct CFO Collaboration

Actify hired one Advisor to CFO (Practice lead from India team) who was assigned to work directly with the CFO, helping streamline decision-making and fast-track report generation.

Scalable, Cost-Efficient Delivery

The offshore team replaced expensive onshore hiring, offering flexibility in scaling and eliminating repetitive tasks for the local team.

Process Ownership & Expansion

As confidence grew, Acktify expanded the offshore team’s scope to include financial analytics, reconciliations, and reporting, improving visibility across finance.

I was Quite Impressed

MYCPE ONE’s offshore team proved to be an extraordinary catalyst in transforming our need to implement a fully functional ERP system into a tangible reality. I was quite impressed by the offshore team's expertise in financial control, reporting, and support for transactional data, helping us streamline efficiency across our entire F&A process.
