Project details

What we need
  • Analysis of accounting needs and assessment of current accounting practices
  • Recommendations for process improvements and report generation
  • Recommendations for appropriate bookkeeping software and related costs (if necessary)
  • Implementation of chosen bookkeeping software (if necessary)
  • Training on data input and essential reports to generate
What we have in place
  • Assets management is currently tracked manually through an Excel sheet by the fiscal team made up of a Finance Director, an Accountant, an Accounts Payable and a Payroll Specialist. The professional will work primarily with the Finance Director and the Accountant. The staff are knowledgeable in general accounting principles including managing assets. The agency has a fixed assets policy and procedures.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,779 , allowing us to provide 200 program participants and their family members to attend graduation ceremonies.

We would like to create a system to automate tracking fixed assets such as electronic devices and computers. Specifically, we seek assistance in researching fixed assets management software, producing best practice procedures for asset management, and creating a library check-out system. This is an important initiative because fixed assets management will allow the agency to maintain and safeguard its assets and upgrade at an optimal time that maximizes the useful life of the equipment.
