As one of our customers told us: "I added my auditors as guests and they were able to navigate to everything they needed." And, because we offer unlimited seats, there's no extra cost for you.
How hard will the software be to use?
We know, no matter how powerful our system is, it won’t be of any benefit to you if it’s too difficult to use. So we offer:
- A user-friendly design that balances simplicity and depth
- DebtBook University, a robust library of dozens of training courses, updated quarterly
- A platform, according to McHenry County, IL that’s “really intuitive” and “easy for anybody to understand.”
For the City of Vista, this ease of use pays dividends come audit time:
“With a system as easy to use as DebtBook, I can feel confident giving my auditors access, knowing they will get the information they need without needing my assistance or waiting on a response from me. This saves me, and our auditors, a ton of time during audit season.”
Built for – and by – public finance professionals
Because our platform was built by CPAs and experienced public finance professionals, we’ve designed it to specially meet your standards. There are multiple components to our solution, so that you can:
- Easily track and account for project costs throughout the complete subscription lifecycle.
- Add general ledger and account information and allocate your subscriptions in order to automatically provide split journal entries and calculations with GL codes included.
- Export all of your journal entries, eliminating the need to manually create your GASB 96 accounting entries for each fiscal period.
- Report on actuals by tracking payment details within the application and automatically reconciling the variances against subscription schedules.
From weeks to just a few clicks
“In the past to prepare debt schedules, it was a process of three to four weeks. With DebtBook, it's literally just a matter of selecting the fiscal year and downloading the information.
Going from weeks to just a few clicks — that’s a significant improvement for us.”
