Multi-dimensional reporting analysis

Always see the bigger financial picture as well as being able to drill down into the details. With easy searching, filters, customisation and consolidation, you have all the analysis tools you need for efficient management decision-making.

Project-based accounting functionality

Great for sports clubs because it enables you to isolate and manage all the financial elements relating to specific projects or events – a much more accurate way to keep track of costs, budgets and workflows.

Contractor and supplier management tools

Contractor and supplier management tools help you to keep a tight rein on your outgoings, adopt multiple payment options, keep track of purchase history and agreements, and stick to budgets.

Revenue and expense deferral functionality

The revenue and expense deferral functionality makes it so much easier and straightforward to manage subscription billing and control your revenue streams. You can also pull reports and forecast cashflow instantly too.

Authorisation control and visibility tools

Authorisation control and visibility tools ensure that only the people within your club who are approved to access your financial data can do so. Tight controls are also in place around transaction processing and multiple levels of security can be set up to accommodate differing roles and responsibilities.

Proud to support many organisations

We needed a system to help us report more dynamically, drill down and report by division but at the same time to be able to view spending across the organisation. [...] Our previous system was very simple and stood alone in the business. We are becoming more and more reliant using iPhones and iPads to communicate with each other and it is vital to do the same thing with our financial information. We have already recommended Access to another rugby club and would not hesitate to do so again.”

Advice on finance and management for sports organisations

Sports clubs typically have to manage multiple income sources – everything from ticket sales and merchandise to membership and sponsorship. Having a slick financial management system in place makes this so much easier to keep track.

But here are other challenges too. Managing data security whilst also enabling data flow with other internal systems is vital. Handling bulk transactions needs to be done quickly and cleanly to avoid errors or delays.

And looking forwards, if your club has plans to grow, then your finance system needs to be robust enough to cope as well as delivering the financial reports needed for strategic decisions, budgeting and resource allocation, stakeholder communication, sponsor and investor relations, and risk management.

Access Financials can smooth the way for all of this with its user-friendly functionality and automated processes. It’s also cloud-based which is easily updated and much more secure.

Access Workspace for sports clubs and venues

Do you have plans that go beyond your finance system? If you want to update the software used for other key areas, such as expenses, purchasing, CRM, websites, Ad Grant Management and more, then Access Workspace integrated software is the answer.
