Over 250 charities and not for profit customers use COA Solutions systems to increase their efficiency, improve reporting, cut costs and ensure ease of access to information across their organisations.

Grahame Marsden, not-for-profit manager at COA Solutions Ltd comments, "We are delighted with the results from Charity Finance magazine's survey, particularly as the feedback has been obtained directly from our customers themselves. Increasingly, more and more charities are investing in integrated finance, payroll, HR, business intelligence and document management systems as demand spirals for electronic, paperless business processes to improve efficiency, save money and support organisations' green agendas."

Marsden adds, "Considering that 45 per cent of those surveyed said that their accounting software was either average or poor, we are extremely pleased that 100 per cent of COA Solutions users voted that they would recommend our accountancy software to other charities. Not only are our solutions extremely scalable, they can be suited to the smaller, less sophisticated or departmental end user as well as the larger, more demanding organisation."
