Built around the union

What finance teams ask before leaving their current accounting setup.

Finance covers the daily operation, union-specific revenue, planning, controls, and accountable reporting.

Can we run more than dues?

Yes. Finance includes the broader accounting and operational workflow.

Accounts, ledger, banking, funds, cash flow, expenses, payables, receivables, payroll, reports, taxes, and more.

Can employers submit remittances?

Yes. A remittance portal supports structured employer submissions.

Validate members, hours, rates, totals, exceptions, payment, and the final People update.

Can approvals follow our rules?

Yes. Configure reviewers, roles, thresholds, and controlled steps.

Apply approval rules to expenses, bills, purchases, reimbursements, cards, and payments.

Can leadership compare budget and actuals?

Yes. Budgets, scenarios, forecasts, and reports use current records.

Compare approved, actual, forecast, fund, program, department, and account views.

Can auditors follow the record?

Yes. Files, activity, approvals, entries, and changes remain attached.

Keep receipts, source documents, journal history, reconciliations, and audit-ready reporting.

Can financial access stay restricted?

Yes. Role-based controls separate entry, review, approval, and administration.

The union retains ownership, authorized access, export controls, and accountable history.

One system. Current union records.

The amount stays connected to the member, employer, fund, and source record.

Approved hours and remittances can update People. Receipts and reports stay in Files. Leadership reporting can use current Finance records without another monthly consolidation exercise.
