More about PBT for Not For Profits

Having worked with many Not for Profit Organisations over the years, Progressive Business Technologies (PBT), have gained an understand of NFP commonalities and requirements. We understand the need to eliminate multiple spreadsheets and manual reconciliations and replaces those with unique multi-dimensional accounting systems that will reconcile transactions and statistics across, individual clients, carers, grants, donors, locations and more.

Not for profit organisations have specific needs and can face additional layers of complexity. Today’s not for profit’s require multi-dimension, multiple division reporting and analysis.

Through the introduction of the NDIS legislation, service providers have had to purchase client management software to ensure they are NDIS ready.

Many of these client management solutions provide great functionality for the service provision area with customer-focused rostering and client plans, however many of these solutions have fallen short in the provision of a strong financial systems.

Not for profit organisations require specialized financial reporting and many still rely on manual processes or basic accounting software to manage their finances.

Board members must carefully consider expenses and how they align with the organization’s goals. An effective accounting system for a not for profit should include features for tracking Entities, Locations, Contributions, Donations, Grants, Programs and more. 

Modern cloud-based accounting software like Sage Intacct can greatly streamline financial reporting and payments, ultimately allowing them to focus on their mission.
PBT can assist with implementation and data migration for your organization. Contact us to learn how we can help you transition to a cost-effective, modern accounting system.

Following a structured Implementation methodology is key to successfully implementing a new finance \ ERP solution into a not for profit organisation. 

The process should start should start with a solution design to assess the organization’s needs to understand the organisation’s financial reporting requirements and identify any specific challenges.
Not for profits have specific needs when it comes to financial reports and many are still using multiple programs, manual processes which should be understood. 

Building a prototype of the solution (of which a copy becomes the production system) should follow, configuring the solution to suit the requirements of the not for profit organisation. Cleansing and importing data from the previous solution is also key to a successful implementation. 

Once a prototype has been established, business process testing should be completed with the key users and in conjunction with your implementation partner. Generally there will be changes required after business process testing before commencing user training.

User training should be delivered per role and cover all the day-to-day activities of the staff. At the completion of User Training staff should continue to test and practice in the test system, completing user acceptance testing and further informing your partner of any issue found. 

Go Live is the final stage, where up to date balances need to be transferred from your previous system across into the new, and reconciled by both parties. This generally happens module by module over a period of a fortnight, culminating in the not for profit organisation completing their first bank reconciliation in around the middle of their first month on the new system. 

Sage Intacct not-for-profit accounting software has many benefits for an NFP, and PBT has a wealth of experience with implementation and data migration.
