Case Study: Yorkshire Wildlife Trust streamlines complex charity accounting with iplicit

Growing conservation charity, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust choose iplicit for their complex accounting needs

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, a growing conservation charity, faced significant challenges with its outdated and overburdened Exchequer finance system, which struggled to handle its complex, multi-entity structure and high volume of transactions. Director of Finance Darren Tiffney sought a true cloud accounting platform to replace the system that was creaking at the seams and to bring approximately 160 staff into the financial processes. The trust chose the iplicit accounting software after it was highly recommended and awarded by Charity Finance magazine.

By implementing iplicit, the trust consolidated its two legal entities and gained a stable, cloud-based system with superior project costing functionality to manage over 100 active funds. The results were immediate time savings, with bank reconciliation now taking five minutes instead of half a day and expense processing being reduced to a single afternoon. iplicit provided the flexibility for hybrid and field-based staff to approve transactions from anywhere, fundamentally improving administrative efficiency and supporting the charity's continued growth.
