Case Study: ACT for Kids achieves faster, more accurate budgeting with Calxa

ACT for Kids - Customer Case Study

Act for Kids, a non-profit working to treat and prevent child abuse, faced a significant challenge with its financial reporting. Using MYOB, the organization struggled to manage and report on its numerous government grants, as the software could not effectively capture or report on budgets by individual program. This limitation created a complex and time-consuming process for their finance team, hindering effective program management.

By implementing Calxa’s reporting and budgeting software, the solution was found. Calxa provided the ability to create and manage separate budgets for each program and department, which could then be easily consolidated. The result was a 75% reduction in the time taken to prepare budgets. This dramatically increased productivity, provided more accurate financial oversight, and empowered managers to take direct responsibility for their own budgets, with the CFO noting the tool prevented the need to hire additional staff.
