"Peace of Mind to Grow and Scale"

How Fiskal helped Davids Health Sciences align Cin7 Core and QuickBooks Online, formalize demand planning, and support 70%+ year-over-year growth.

CASE STUDIES

"Peace of Mind to Grow and Scale"

Company

Davids Health Sciences, Inc.
Founded: 2015

Location

Menifee, California, USA

Industry

Clean ingredient oral care, multichannel consumer goods

Davids Health Sciences was founded by Eric Buss, who had no background in dentistry or formulation when he started. The idea came from reading the ingredient list on his own toothpaste tube and not liking what he found.

About Davids

"One evening I was looking on my tube of toothpaste. I'm looking at the ingredient list… it didn't take long to figure out that a lot of the ingredients really aren't that great for you."
— Eric Buss, Founder, Davids Health Sciences

Eric spent four years developing the formulation and business before officially launching Davids Natural Toothpaste direct-to-consumer on Shopify in July 2015, self-funded with roughly $20,000. For the first three years, he mixed and filled every tube of toothpaste by hand, including through the brand's launch into Whole Foods' full 500-store chain.

The business has since grown into a team of about 30, expanded into Amazon, Shopify, TikTok, and wholesale channels including Faire, and built an international footprint spanning Japan, the Middle East, and Australia. Davids closed 2025 with 73% year-over-year growth, following close to 70% growth the year before.

As Davids scaled across multiple sales channels and geographies, the financial and operational function needed to grow up alongside the brand.

  • Rapid multichannel growth across Amazon, Shopify, TikTok, and wholesale outpaced the systems keeping inventory, costing, and reporting aligned

  • Financial and operational data lived across multiple platforms without full alignment between them, making it harder to see a single, reliable picture of the business

  • Co-manufacturing and logistics costs were not fully reflected in product costing, limiting visibility into true profitability by SKU

  • Demand planning and purchasing were run largely through manual processes rather than the tools built for it

The Challenge

"We were looking for the next evolution of our financial management and financial department."
- Sky Meltzer, Strategic Advisor to the CEO, Davids Health Sciences

Davids runs its operations on Cin7 Core. Looking for a partner who could match the sophistication of that system with financial expertise, the team's search led them to Fiskal.

Fiskal's standing as Cin7 Core's Accounting Partner of the Year became the initial signal. What confirmed the decision was the response time.

The Turning Point

"Pierre, you responded in about 30 minutes or an hour. I think one of the hallmarks of Fiskal is a high service standard, so that was evident from the onset."
- Sky Meltzer, Strategic Advisor to the CEO, Davids Health Sciences

Fiskal's engagement with Davids spans both the accounting side and the Cin7 Core system Davids runs its operations on. As an established, ongoing partnership, the work below is complete, in progress, or nearly finished rather than a future plan:

  • Reconciling financial data between Cin7 Core and QuickBooks Online to build a single, reliable source of truth for sales, inventory, and cost of goods sold.

  • Improving how inventory and fulfillment workflows connect across Amazon, Shopify, and wholesale channels.

  • Ensuring co-manufacturing and landed costs are captured directly in the system, so product-level profitability reflects true cost.

  • Rolling out Cin7 Core's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Module and Warehouse Management Solution (WMS) to formalize production planning, demand forecasting, and warehouse operations

  • Feeding Davids demand plan into Fiskal's proprietary 13-week cashflow model to support forward-looking scenario planning.

  • Establishing formal purchase order and payment approval workflows with proper segregation of duties.

  • Designing automated KPI and management reporting to replace scattered manual reports.

What Fiskal Did

Rather than build out a full in-house finance team or implement a heavyweight ERP system, Davids now runs on a right-sized tech stack with Fiskal's fractional team behind it, giving the business finance capability at a fraction of the cost and time it would take to build in-house.

The Results

"The result is essentially Davids having peace of mind to grow and scale on an SMB tech stack, saving thousands of dollars and hours of not implementing a full blown ERP system, and using a fractional outsourced team with the capabilities of a full finance team."
- Pierre Goldie, Co-Founder, Fiskal Finance

Coming off back-to-back years of roughly 70%+ growth, Davids 2026 plans center on international expansion. The brand already has a foothold in Japan, the Middle East, and Australia, and is now setting its sights further.

Looking Ahead

"Really, cracking into the EU further, UK, EU. That's really what we have our sights on this year and going into next."
- Eric Buss, Founder, Davids Health Sciences

With that expansion already underway, the partnership with Fiskal continues to deepen alongside it.

"We're looking forward to working with Fiskal."
- Eric Buss, Founder, Davids Health Sciences

Davids built a category-defining clean ingredient toothpaste brand from a home kitchen. Fiskal is building the financial infrastructure to carry that growth into its next chapter.
