Accounting Systems Set Up

Project details

What we need
  • Setup of selected accounting software (e.g. Aplos, Araize)
  • Training and guidelines on how to manage system and generate basic reports
Additional details

Perfect. We are currently using Aplos and are not sure we are using it to our fullest potential and/or if we should be using a different system. Thanks

What we have in place
  • We currently have Aplos, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a volunteer accountant, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,409 , allowing us to This project will potentially have a future cost savings as we are currently using a volunteer. However, as we grow, we need to be more efficient and train non-professional volunteers.

Our organization is growing and our volunteer accountant will not have the bandwidth to continue as we grow. We need to get more efficient in our systems and procedures as we grow. We likely will have to hire a part-time accountant but I would like to have a system so that a volunteer could continue to provide this service for us if possible.

Our mission

Sanctuary Farm seeks to address the health inequities resulting from systemic racial oppression and economic injustice by converting abandoned and neglected areas in our community into spaces that promote safety, hospitality, nutrition, and growth.

What we do

We convert abandoned lots into gardens to provide food for the community. We also provide a variety of educational resources and programming.
