Case Study: City of Franklin, NH achieves paperless audits and major time savings with AccuFund

Historic City Brings its Accounting Software up to Date

The City of Franklin, NH, a small municipal government with a proactive finance department, faced an aging accounting system that required extensive manual effort and lacked modern features like dynamic reporting. Concerned about cost and scalability, the city sought a modular, user-friendly solution that would let staff and department heads access and analyze budget and transaction details without expensive add-ons.

Franklin implemented the AccuFund Accounting Suite (core, Fixed Assets, Payroll, later HR, Employee Portal and Time Clocks) and is evaluating Work Orders. The result was a move to paperless audits (eliminating 12 binders), reducing document prep from weeks to 1–2 days and auditor on-site time from a week to half a day; timecard processing dropped from 4–6 hours to 30 minutes; plus drill-down reporting, easy Excel exports, centralized HR data, and overall greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness for the city.
