The SALT program has grown rapidly since its beginning several years ago. The number of clients in the SALT Program has almost doubled in the past year. There are currently over 9,000 loan clients in various countries. Keeping track of these clients requires careful record keeping. The SALT staff, who are often busy with just the day-to-day operations of the SALT program, have the daunting task of keeping track of a growing number of SALT clients. The SALT program has struggled to establish an efficient record keeping and accounting system.
Since I introduced QuickBooks to the SALT program and helped set it up and taught them how to use QuickBooks, they now have an easier and more efficient way of keeping records. They also now have a quicker and more accurate means of reporting that is crucial to making management decisions for long-term and short-term planning.
Darvin Seibel, director of the SALT program in Haiti, says, “The problem of efficient record keeping was solved recently as Caleb Jenkins made a visit to Haiti and set QuickBooks up for the SALT staff here. QuickBooks has saved our staff a lot of time in entries and improved our accuracy. The reports that are available now make it much easier for everyone involved with the program to be able to quickly access information. This is a tremendous blessing. We thank you!”
SALT representative Clint Bower works in Haiti and teaches farmers there better farming techniques to promote sustainable living. Clint reports that QuickBooks has made a big difference in his work. “I have worked with SALT’s Agri-Plus program since January 2013,” says Clint. “Since that time we had used excel spreadsheets to keep track of our finances. It was a difficult way to track finances with no good way to reconcile our books or get the reports that we needed.the SALT staff here.
Caleb Jenkins came in May to convert all of our bookkeeping over to QuickBooks. Since this switch, our time spent bookkeeping has greatly diminished. We are able to look at reports quickly and more efficiently than before. Caleb was a patient teacher and still is available to help anytime we have a need. His knowledge of QuickBooks makes our job much easier."
