# Sherpaneer

> Sherpaneer is a Salesforce consulting and implementation firm specializing in Lead-to-Cash transformation, Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA), CPQ-to-RCA migrations, Salesforce Account Engagement (formerly Pardot), and agentic AI for revenue operations. We architect end-to-end revenue systems that connect Marketing, Sales, RevOps, and Finance.

Sherpaneer is a registered Salesforce Consulting Partner. The firm is led by Co-Presidents Ferny Bengali and Liz Beckmeier, with Lawrence Lam as Chief Technical Officer leading the Intelligence practice. We partner with a select group of organizations each year on complex Lead-to-Cash, Revenue Cloud, and agentic AI engagements.

## What we do

Our practice is organized around three disciplines that together form the modern revenue enterprise:

- **Process — End-to-end Lead-to-Cash architecture.** Commercial process design, governance and RACI across Sales/Marketing/Finance silos, and Lead-to-Cash maturity audits. We eliminate the "seams" between teams so revenue flows without friction.
- **Intelligence — Agentic AI infrastructure.** LLM-responsive data models, autonomous Quote-to-Order workflows, and custom agentic workstreams for reconciliation and "last mile" revenue tasks. We structure Salesforce metadata so AI agents can actually read and act on it.
- **Revenue — ERP and financial integrity.** ERP-agentic plugins connecting Salesforce and HubSpot to core financial systems, automated revenue recognition and billing for multi-element contracts, and margin protection through visibility into billing leakage.
