Case Study: Friends of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites achieves streamlined fund accounting and financial reporting with Aplos

The Friends of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites transformed their fund accounting and streamlined their financial reporting

Friends of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, which supports more than 50 statewide chapters, needed a better way to standardize bookkeeping and reporting across its independent entities. The organization had been relying on spreadsheets and paper forms, making annual Form 990 preparation time-consuming and limiting visibility into chapter-level spending and project impact. It turned to Aplos for a web-based fund accounting and reporting solution.

Aplos implemented Aplos Accounting and Aplos Oversight, along with custom reporting, administrator controls, and chapter training webinars to help leaders manage finances consistently. As a result, Friends of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites improved the efficiency of consolidated reporting, gained real-time visibility into chapter financial health, and strengthened transparency and accountability to donors and stakeholders.
