“Extensive research was undertaken to find an online commercial package that would suit the needs of our 94 Scout Groups, but would also be cost effective and not break the banks. Enter Reckon One.”

Reckon makes reporting and bookkeeping across multiple sites and franchises groups easy

Scouts SA required a standardised method of financial reporting across each Scouts Group, to move away from shoebox accounting and spreadsheets that some groups were still using. Jacqui transitioned all 94 SA Scouts Groups to Reckon One to streamline their auditing processes and move them to an affordable, easy to use, modern accounting platform.
