Case Study: French Broad Food Co-op achieves audit-ready, automated finances with QuickBooks Enterprise

QuickBooks Enterprise Keeps a Nonprofit’s Accounts Auditable and Accessible

French Broad Food Co-op is a nonprofit natural foods grocery in Ashville, North Carolina with 35 employees that needed auditable, centralized accounting and straightforward payroll handling. With no prior accounting software, the co-op required a system that made financial reporting easy to drill into and kept records ready for audit.

The co-op uses QuickBooks Enterprise with Advanced Payroll and subscribes to the Intuit Full Service Plan, including the Live Paycheck feature, to automate payroll and tax filings. The result: substantial time savings, automated federal and state form completion (just run an error check), clearer P&L and balance-sheet drilldowns, and reliable support when issues arise, according to Sage Turner, Finance & Project Manager.
