Hackney CVS promotes and supports the development of the voluntary and community
sector in Hackney. The organisation has recently reviewed its accounting software
in the light of expanding its services. The accounts team are currently using Quickbooks
Premier 2008, but feel it has some limitations when it comes to spreadsheet reporting
and user permissions.

 

“When we researched financial management solutions, IRIS Exchequer (www.iris.co.
uk/exchequer) stood out from the crowd with its well-designed features – especially
its project reporting,” comments Manish Panjabi. “We are looking to streamline and
automate our finance processes and build closer relationships with our stakeholders.
IRIS Exchequer can help us realise these goals by enabling us to utilise our resources
more efficiently in the future.”

When Hackney CVS goes live with IRIS Exchequer V6 next month, it intends to equip
project teams with on demand access to detailed financial information without wasting
time and resources in collating and sifting through the data.

 

In conclusion Manish comments, “IRIS Exchequer ticked all the boxes for us in terms
of reporting and analysis capabilities, compatibility, ease of use, adaptability,
robustness and knowledge base. We fully expect to see a return on our investment
through increased productivity, efficiency and accuracy.”
