Accounting Systems Set Up
Accounting Systems Set Up
Project details
What we need
- Setup of selected accounting software (e.g. Aplos, Araize)
- Training and guidelines on how to manage system and generate basic reports
Additional details
We use Quickbooks. I am the ED and have been the accountant as well. That probably explains my concern. I used the system intuitively, but I am sure that we need additional support and I have so many questions. I thought it better to start here at setup because I am not sure if it is set up correctly.
What we have in place
- We use Quickbooks for accounting.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,409 , allowing us to hire a part-time accountant to help keep the books in pristine condition.
We are growing so quickly - faster than I can remotely keep up while being all things including an accountant. I am desperate to know that we are being fiscally responsible with the money of our donors and sponsors, and I don't know how to determine this or show it. Having a fully functioning accounting system will allow us to begin to develop reporting needed for grant funding, and will also help us to move towards creating a full strategic plan for Light of Loving Kindness.
Project plan

What we do
We accomplish this thru workshops, education, training, and resiliency services at free to low cost to communities that are low-income, underserved, and trauma & violence affected.
