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.

Moving from Transactional Accounting to Analytical Decision Support
With a rich 100-year history of serving seniors and their families through a variety of health, wellness, and social services, Lutheran SeniorLife's business has expanded significantly over the years. Most recently, the nonprofit acquired some organizations that provide visiting nursing and human services, each of which used different accounting systems. With this increasing complexity, Lutheran SeniorLife's chart of accounts and financial processes were getting out of hand, and its finance team decided to centralize core functions and move all 24 entities onto one robust platform. Around this time, the organization also migrated its clinical system to HealthMEDX, and went in search of a user-friendly financial management solution that could connect with its new software to help improve productivity across the board. “We wanted a platform that would build on the basic capabilities of our legacy system, with the addition of rich reporting and a more integrated multi-entity general ledger,” said William Thompson, accounting manager at Lutheran SeniorLife. “We chose Sage Intacct over Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics for its flexibility and ability to eliminate manual work in support of our goal – to transform the traditional approach to finance, and alter the mix of our finance team’s skills towards more financial analysis, risk management, and forecasting.” Interested in learning more?

An article in Forbes put the matter like this: “Perhaps chief technology evangelizer, chief strategic engineer or chief operations partner should share the billing with the finance title. CFOs today are expected to fill all of these roles.”
To be more strategic and a champion of growth, CFOs need to embrace technology in all its forms. Deloitte research indicates seven technologies that “have growing interaction and relevance for how the work of finance gets done:”
“Together, [these technologies] form a toolset finance can use to improve its own performance and serve the business more effectively, especially when they are used together,” according to Deloitte. Elevating finance to the cloud In particular, tech-savvy CFOs are looking to the cloud to expedite financial accounting tasks and get the insights they need to grow their business.

How to show accountability and transparency The willingness to be accountable and transparent about your nonprofit — especially finances — creates an environment of trust that encourages donations. Financial transparency and accountability are also essential for legal compliance.
Nonprofits face significant challenges as a result of thin staffing, tight budgets, primitive financial management tools (e.g., spreadsheets), and far-flung management teams. Financial transparency may seem almost impossible.
Fortunately, there’s cloud-based fund accounting software from Sage Intacct. Now you can create greater levels of transparency across every dimension of your organization and get real-time visibility into your organization’s financial health. Key stakeholders like the Board of Directors have instant, actionable insight to make smart decisions about your nonprofit’s future.
