INTRODUCTION<\/p>\n
For volunteer organisations with limited resources, managing accounting processes can often be a difficult challenge. This was the case for the Tokoroa Little Theatre, a New Zealand playhouse that produces and hosts community theatre productions.<\/p>\n
With an inefficient, manual accounting system in place, the organisation was struggling to maintain control of its finances. The problems were clear to Treasurer Pat Menzies when he began volunteering with the theatre in 2014. Pat recognised the organisation needed a cloud based accounting system and chose Reckon based on its range of features and pricing.<\/p>\n
With Reckon One<\/a> software up and running he has been able to streamline the theatre\u2019s financial processes and reduce the time he spends on accounting tasks each month from 15 hours to five hours. He is now able to present accurate reports to fellow committee members and provide the organisation with a clearer financial direction.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”The challenge” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_color=”#ffeeed” min_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_margin_phone=”||-30px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||||false|false” background_enable_image_phone=”off” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element=”margin-top:auto;||margin-bottom:auto;” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_2_font_size=”32px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n THE CHALLENGE<\/p>\n The Tokorora Little Theatre faces many of the same challenges often encountered by volunteer organisations. A lack of both human and financial resources contributed to a variety of administrative inefficiencies in the organisation, particularly in the area of accounting.<\/p>\n These difficulties were immediately clear to the club\u2019s Treasurer Pat Menzies. At the time, the theatre was using a manual bookkeeping system which was time consuming and leading to mistakes. Having worked in IT, Pat knew that a cloud based solution could greatly assist the organisation. He began a review of accounting products on the market and chose Reckon One based on its range of features and competitive pricing model<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_css_main_element=”margin-top:auto;||margin-bottom:auto;” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/Case-Studies\/tokoroa-little-theatre-logo-2-1.jpg” title_text=”Tokoroa Little Theatre Logo 2 (1)” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”1″ width=”177px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” border_radii=”on|100px|100px|100px|100px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_testimonial author=”Pat Menzies, Treasurer” quote_icon=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|700|on||||||” body_text_align=”left” author_font=”||||||||” author_text_align=”left” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”-80px||||false|false” custom_padding=”100px|45px|30px|45px|false|true” custom_css_testimonial_author=”margin-top:8px;” border_radii=”off||40px|14px|40px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cI would recommend Reckon One to any volunteer organisation without hesitation.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Solution” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#dad9e4″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||||false|false” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element=”margin-top:auto;||margin-bottom:auto;” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Case-study-tokoroa-header.png” title_text=”Case Study Tokoroa Header” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” border_radii=”off|27px|27px||27px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_css_main_element=”margin-top:auto;||margin-bottom:auto;” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_2_font_size=”32px” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n OUR SOLUTION<\/p>\n Within just a few hours of installing Reckon One<\/a>, Pat was up and running with the software.
