Case Study: The Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton transforms parish finance with AccountsIQ

The Diocese of Arundel and Brighton’s finances are transformed by consolidated Cloud accounting

The Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton needed to replace a stand-alone desktop finance system that required manual re-keying, offered no consolidation, and gave only limited parish-level visibility. As the Diocese began a digital finance transformation, it turned to AccountsIQ cloud accounting software to create a shared platform for its central team and around 70 mostly volunteer parish users.

AccountsIQ implemented automated processes such as digital cash collection, direct posting into the ledger, and multi-dimensional reporting across parishes, funds, sites, and departments. The Diocese says this has eliminated re-keying, improved accuracy and granularity, reduced monthly bank reconciliations to under 15 minutes for one parish, and enabled all parish accounts to be reconciled within two months of year-end, while improving the quality and speed of financial insight.
