Digitizing Records and Migrating to a Free Bookkeeping System
After years of using paper records and a QuickBooks subscription, the Hawaii Chapter board undertook a financial overhaul during which it digitized chapter records and transitioned from QuickBooks to Wave, a free bookkeeping software. Migrating to a cloud-based system simplified the handoff between board members, while making financial records more accessible and increasing overall transparency within the board. Additionally, moving from a paid bookkeeping program to a free alternative resulted in annual cost savings for the chapter.
