Choosing Charity Accounting Software
When choosing to upgrade or change your accounting software you consider listed functionality of course, but most importantly you want to know how the solution really works in practice, how it actually solves FD's problems and makes their organisations more effective. The functionality of PS Financials is described here, but what tells you most about the software is why our users chose it for themselves when faced with a decision to upgrade or change the way their Charity needed to manage its accounts:

Carolyn Collard, Finance Manager, Glyndebourne "We chose PS Financials because the system has a low total cost of ownership, it is easy to use and it has broad functionality. We now have easier and faster access to financial information, and more detailed analysis of data using the drill-down capabilities of the software. Feedback from our users has also been very positive and because staff training was so quick we are able to achieve a faster return on our investment." |
Jim Tindall, Director of Finance, Acorns Childrens' Hospices "We are an expanding charity and wanted a system that would be able to grow with us. A key feature of PS Financials is that it can support the three users we currently have on the system, whilst also being able to scale up to as many as 400 users as we expand. We expect to have 14 to 15 users by the end of the year and we are looking at rolling out the system to our retail stores within the next five years so the implementation of PS Financials provides us with a modern, future-proof software investment." |

Philip Poole, Deputy Chief Executive, Bible Society "Our decision to change our finance system has come at a time when we are expanding and developing new business processes across the organisation and our existing bespoke system is unable to support these changes. PS Financials will provide us with a very cost-effective, flexible, user-friendly accounting system that will enable us to automate core accounting procedures and benefit from much better management information." |
Graham Mc Donald, Senior Accountant, The International HIV/Aids Alliance "When choosing a system supplier it's an issue of trust. You assess the people you are dealing with and PS Financials came across as genuine, reliable people to work with and their technical ability was light years ahead of anyone else we spoke to. Throughout the implementation process we received excellent support from PS Financials and this has continued since we went live with the system." |

Robin Brown, "Although I was already familiar with PS Financials when I came to Save the Children, there have been a number of specific benefits to using the system here. The ability to report directly from an operational database makes it easier to analyse management information. Being able to produce most of our SORP and VAT reporting automatically means that our year-end processing is an efficient and straightforward process, and the system handles partial exemption easily." |
Gordon Welsby, Director of Finance, WRVS "PS Financials is a flexible accounting system which allows us to automate some of our core financial processes in order to reduce manual transaction processing within the organisation. Our staff can now be more focused on interrogating and analysing financial information rather than having to spend all their time having to manually input data into the system." |
