Case Study: Business & Human Rights Resource Centre simplifies multi-currency, multi-entity finance with iplicit

How the BHRRC simplified multiple currencies and 5 legal entities across 20 countries

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, a global human rights charity, faced significant challenges managing its complex financial operations. With five legal entities across 20 countries, multiple currencies, and numerous donor reporting requirements, its old system of Sage 50 and countless spreadsheets provided no real-time oversight or consolidated view. This lack of visibility and the inefficiency of its processes led the organization to seek a new solution, ultimately selecting the iplicit accounting software.

By implementing iplicit, the centre gained a real-time, intuitive financial management system that replaced its outdated processes. The solution provided consolidated multi-currency and multi-entity oversight, specially built management accounts, and intuitive features like mobile expense submission for its global team. The iplicit system was implemented quickly, within three months and without extra staff, leading to immediate efficiencies. The finance team moved from taking three weeks to produce a donor report to having high-quality, real-time financial information, fostering a new culture of financial literacy across the entire organization.
