I am Sarah Evans, the Community Council Manager at South Willesborough & Newtown Community Council, and I’m excited to share how Scribe has transformed our financial management processes.
From the first sales call, I received immense support and guidance from the Scribe team. The Scribe in Action webinar was particularly helpful, providing valuable insights and reassurance that we’re all on the same page in our approach and challenges. The additional training and webinars have been equally informative and beneficial.
Unparalleled Support
One of the standout features of Scribe is their exceptional support. I am incredibly grateful for the enduring patience of the Scribe team, who have been there to assist me every step of the way. Their support has been instrumental in making the transition smooth and stress-free.
Enhanced Reporting and Transparency
For our Annual Finance Report to the Annual Electors Meeting this year, I used the graphs from the Scribe homepage. These visual aids made it significantly easier to explain our spending and reserves for the year. The clarity and professionalism of the presentation were well-received, and it made the entire process more transparent for all stakeholders.
Simplified AGAR Submissions
This year’s AGAR submission was a breeze compared to previous years. The year-end health check service provided by Scribe ensured that everything was tallying correctly and in the right boxes. I no longer had to double-check negative payments or worry if all the spreadsheet formulas were pulling through correctly. This gave me real confidence when submitting the explanation of variance and reports to the Council.
Efficient VAT Management
The VAT form 126 process has been a game-changer. Previously, I had to manage two spreadsheets with paper invoices to correlate. Now, with Scribe, it’s down to just one entry, saving me a considerable amount of time and reducing my workload significantly.
Reduced Stress and Increased Productivity
Choosing Scribe as our accounting solution has markedly reduced my personal work stress. The ease of use, coupled with the comprehensive support, has made managing our council’s finances much more efficient and less stressful. I am really glad that our Council chose Scribe, as it has certainly made my job easier and more manageable.
Final Thoughts
Thank you so much to the Scribe team for your excellent service and the patience with which you deliver it. The transformation in our financial management processes has been remarkable, and I highly recommend Scribe to any council looking to streamline their financial operations.
