Is Your Finance Team Exhausted?

Is your Finance team getting exhausted from being the go-to source for all data needs in your organization?

If your nonprofit is like most, your finance team is routinely tapped to provide a range of statistics, cost analysis, and performance metrics that are not always easy to arrive at.   The team can spend uncounted hours pulling numbers, assembling data, and developing reports for a wide audience of stakeholders, from executives and board members, to key funders and even the media.

It can be easy to overwhelm a finance team with these myriad requests, even as they try to balance these data demands with running day to day financial operations. This data hunting syndrome can often be a symptom of an organization that is using outdated or limited accounting software.
