As a finance professional in a Senior Living / Assisted Living organization, you may be experiencing growth beyond the capabilities of your current financial software package. Sage Intacct handles multi-entity organizations with ease. See the case study below for further clarification.
In Search of Multi-Entity Financial Management to Support Future Growth Personal Healthcare, a senior care facility management organization, previously used outside accountants and an industry-specific software suite to manage its financials, but the software failed to keep up with the company’s rapid growth trajectory. The old software couldn’t support paperless financial processes or provide transparency into revenues, payroll, and expenses across different states, facilities, or departments. “We chose Sage Intacct over healthcare industry solutions because it was immediately clear that it would be incredibly easy for all of our staff to use, and it allows us to configure the system to our very specific needs,” said Israel Ostrovitsky, controller at Personal Healthcare. “Sage Intacct gives us the flexibility to customize virtually any report and analyze our financial data using key operational metrics like cost per-patient-per-day - a measure that’s extremely important in a business as specialized as senior care.” Please access the entire case study to learn more here.

Challenges Keeping Pace with High Growth Demands Meals on Wheels America is the leadership organization supporting the more than 5,000 community based programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior isolation and hunger. The nonprofit’s challenge is to prepare the network that already serves 2.4 million Americans each year to meet the increasing demands of a rapidly growing senior population. Meals on Wheels America needed modern financial management to keep up, as Don Miller recognized when he joined the nonprofit as chief financial and administrative officer in 2013. “I walked into an organization that was running on QuickBooks and Excel and was very limited by its systems, especially when it came to managing grants,” Miller said. “I knew we needed an accounting system that could help us grow.” As it was, Meals on Wheels America faced tons of time-consuming manual accounting work, and relied on Excel to manage grant funding - which was especially problematic with restricted grants from funders that specify a particular use. Reporting was severely limited, and travel and expense accounting was still done on paper.

In our continuing efforts to keep the Senior Living / Assisted Living verticals informed in the cloud financials space, we thought it would be relevant to post this new research that may affect your organization.
New research indicates most home health and hospice leaders are exposed to serious financial risks due to the lack of access to real-time financial data and business analytics. This comes at a time when daily management of key performance indicators has never been more important as providers attempt to navigate new payment models and predict the financial impact of COVID-19. Over the past 12 months, financial complexities have grown exponentially, and business leaders are being challenged like never before to manage cash flow. Unfortunately, real-time visibility into financial and operational performance continues to evade most providers. Now is the time organizations must evaluate their financial management systems to ensure they get the visibility they need - when they need it - to navigate these challenging times ahead. A recent study conducted by Porter Research and sponsored by Sage Intacct reveals that many of the most popular financial accounting systems are severely lacking in their ability to provide home health and hospice business leaders the insight they need. The majority of the providers are using outdated methods and limited, on-premise financial accounting systems that are putting their long-term viability at risk.

Sometimes, it’s easy to overlook the fact that CFOs of nonprofit and for-profit organizations alike, share many of the same challenges in pursuit of the same overarching goal: optimizing the returns of the organization’s activities by carefully managing all aspects of its finances.
But, of course, in the nonprofit world, it’s not about maximizing profitability it’s about maximizing impact. Nonprofits typically pursue a “mission-first” philosophy, aiming to achieve greater social or philanthropic goals and balance the competing interests of social mission and a sound financial foundation. The result is a host of additional challenges that can burden the nonprofit finance team and its financial software infrastructure. The fact is, it’s never easy to be a CFO. Regardless of the organization, every CFO faces both common and unique challenges and pressures. However, in many ways, financial leaders at nonprofits must address even greater difficulties than their for-profit counterparts. It can be a result of thin or part-time staffing (and sometimes merely volunteers). There are always tight budgets, primitive tools (think of dozens of spreadsheets from multiple contributors), and far-flung management teams. Nonprofit CFOs are under the gun to achieve so much: to automate processes, improve productivity, create greater levels of transparency and visibility, enhance the governance of the organization, and strengthen the team’s decision-making and strategic focus. How can a CFO survive this challenging environment? The guide linked below discusses some of the key challenges, special requirements, and unusual constraints of financial management and shares some tips and best practices from numerous nonprofit finance experts.
