CSA Software Solutions is a partner of Red Wing Software, primarily selling CenterPoint Fund Accounting and Payroll to municipals/cities within the southern U.S. CSA recently wrote up a case study on one of their new customers: the City of Santa Anna, Texas. Here is their story.
LOCATION:
City of Santa Anna, Texas
Population 1,100
CSA CLIENT SINCE:
May 2015
CURRENT SOFTWARE:
CenterPoint Fund Accounting and Payroll
(former QuickBooks user)
KEY BENEFITS OF CENTERPOINT:
Quick and Simple Payroll
“Our payroll is now done in 30 minutes. CSA installed our payroll with all our deductions and city benefits already set up. It’s just a click of a button and payroll is already calculated, including vacation and sick time, and I just print the payroll checks. I now get informative payroll tax reports and the liabilities are already set up, making paying them much easier.”
In Depth Fund Accounting: No Signing In and Out of Different Companies
“No more signing in and out of each fund (company). When I have an invoice that needs to be paid out of two funds or need to research something with a transaction search, CenterPoint allows me to move around easily.”
Intuitive and Easy Bank Reconciliations
“I always dreaded the first of the month when bank statements had to be reconciled. Now it’s so much easier with CenterPoint. If I make a mistake and post to the wrong account it’s easy to fix...no voiding and reentering. Just correct and save and CenterPoint changes everything, while giving a secure audit trail.”
Customizable Council Reports
“The financial reports are like no other. Not only do they supply our council with information on the expense and revenue for the city, it helps me keep up with our budget and when something needs to be amended throughout the year.”
Awesome Support
“The support staff at CSA is amazing. They are not just a support staff but have become Friends.”
