Case Study: Downtown Streets Team saves 48 hours every month with Accounting Seed

Downtown Streets Team saves 48 hours every month with Accounting Automation

Downtown Streets Team, a California nonprofit focused on helping people experiencing homelessness, needed a faster, more reliable way to manage finances as it scaled across 20 communities. Before Accounting Seed, its accounting was fully outsourced and financial statements could take 60 days or more, limiting real-time visibility into budgets and funding.

Accounting Seed helped Downtown Streets Team bring accounting in-house on Salesforce with automated accounting, better reporting, and real-time budget visibility. With Accounting Seed, the team went live in 60 days, uncovered $100,000 in unbilled expenses within 90 days, improved data quality by 110%, saved about $20,000 annually, and shortened month-end close to 10 business days while saving 48 hours each month on accounting work.
