Serenic Navigator Selected for Fund Accounting and Grant Management at Catholic Charities USA

Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, AVF Consulting, to Provide Implementation Services

Baltimore, MD-AVF Consulting will implement Serenic Navigator financial management software for Catholic Charities USA. By providing support to hundreds of local Catholic Charities nationwide, Catholic Charities USA reaches over 9 million people each year in an effort to reduce poverty, support families, and empower communities. The organization's need for financial management software that is able to address fund accounting and grant management led them to Serenic Navigator, Microsoft's leading financial management software for nonprofit organizations.

"Serenic meets our needs from strong fund accounting functionality to integrated grant management," said Maureen Cardone, senior accounting manager, Catholic Charities USA. "Serenic offers functionality that is specific to large nonprofit organizations, such as the ability to schedule recurring entries and allocations within the system, track data at a high level, and drill down into information with ease. We expect report preparation to be much easier and more efficient, allowing us to spend less time processing data and to devote more time to analysis."

Catholic Charities USA had outgrown their financial management system and was seeking a stronger solution to manage their financial data efficiently. Catholic Charities USA ultimately desired an integrated nonprofit accounting system complete with general ledger, grants management, budgeting, financial reporting, accounts payable, fixed assets, payroll, expense allocation and report generation.

Their search led to Serenic Navigator and leading partner AVF Consulting. Serenic Navigator provides strong and flexible fund accounting with its dimensions, and Serenic's AwardVision module allows for strong grant management, a key need of Catholic Charities USA. They also valued the ability to use the HR module while still outsourcing their payroll function.

"We are very pleased to be selected by Catholic Charities USA to provide implementation and consultation services for this project," said Andrew Fass, CEO of AVF Consulting, Inc. "Leveraging Serenic's technology will permit Catholic Charities USA to strengthen their efficiency and allow them to focus on their mission of helping people nationwide."
