Case Study: United Way of Greater St. Louis achieves two-thirds faster financial reporting and affordable, powerful accounting with AccuFund

Vendor Buyout Prompts United Way Chapter to Switch to AccuFund

United Way of Greater St. Louis, a volunteer-driven nonprofit serving 16 counties since 1922, needed a new accounting system after its previous software vendor was bought out and stopped active development. Concerned about losing personalized service, flexibility and the ability to interface with its campaign software, the finance team launched a search for a replacement that would meet nonprofit reporting and workflow needs.

They chose the AccuFund Accounting Suite and AccuFund Access for its affordability, ease of use and strong integration with campaign software. The new system enabled invoice scanning, simpler journal uploads, highly flexible report writing and self-service access for department managers; monthly financial report production time dropped by about two-thirds and reports are now distributed automatically, improving access and reducing storage costs.
