Technology solutions and partners: Finance
"Gain financial clarity and strategic insights by choosing the right system and partner, empowering your organisation to make informed decisions, streamline finance operations, and achieve sustainable financial health."
Charities are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their use of finance software.
It’s taken for granted that finance software will help get the accounting basics right - transaction processing, production of management accounts, and so on - and the focus has now shifted to activities that add value.
The right finance system will also provide business intelligence, personalised dashboards for staff, integration with CRM and other systems (such as for grants management), and essential NFP-specific elements for those that need them, such as SORP-compliant reporting and analysis, project coding to facilitate donor reporting, and partial VAT recovery analysis.
We employ a holistic approach to solution and supplier selection: taking into account the resources you have available, the culture that an implementation partner will need to recognise and appreciate, alongside the technical functionality and fit.
For those organisations able to resource the key project roles internally, we can provide support, backup and overall guidance; for those organisations that need us to, we can offer a complete set of project management and technical resources to help throughout.
