Information Technology
ESMA recognizes that strong Information Technology infrastructure and delivering an organization’s products go hand in hand. Budget constraints, limited internal resources, and/ or lack of expertise can leave nonprofits with unoptimized technology systems. This can hold nonprofits back, causing miscommunications, inefficiencies, and general frustration. Based on needs, ESMART Services services may include:
- Hardware and software procurement and maintenance
- Networking
- Technology Planning
- Database administration
- Website management
- Training and Help Desk
Finance and Administration
Maintaining timely and accurate financial records is one of the most important responsibilities facing every nonprofit organization. Understanding and knowing an organization’s financial status is necessary to maximize current funding and pave the way for future opportunities. ESMART Services’ accounting experts are experienced in nonprofit environments and have access to tried-and-true solutions to the common issues that nonprofits face. Based on an organization’s needs, services offered may include:
- Routine bookkeeping and accounting
- Chart of accounts setup/review
- Financial planning
- Budgeting
- ECLIPS Time Tracking and Billing **
- Billing (private and Government customers)
- Receivables management
- Payables management
- Vendor management
- Monthly bank account reconciliation
- Monthly financial statements and reporting
- Year-end 1099-NEC preparation
- Best-practice advice and counsel
** Time Tracking and Billing for that time can be a difficult and time-consuming task without proper tools. Utilizing ESMA’s ECLIPS Time Tracking and Billing application solves those concerns. ECLIPS organizes contract information to apply time against contracts with a great level of detail that can be used to accumulate time for manual or automated payroll systems and bill those time entries to customers by generating invoices.
