Financial systems that work as hard as your Nation does

We help First Nations, education authorities, school divisions and non-profits choose, set up and run ERP systems, bringing finance, payroll and reporting together so leaders see the full picture.

Sound familiar?

Running a Nation means managing many programs, funders and deadlines at once. Here’s what we hear most from finance and administration teams.

  • “Every funding agreement has its own rules, and we track them all in spreadsheets.”

    Education, housing, health and social programs each come with different budgets, timelines and reports.

    How we fix it: We set up fund accounting so every program and agreement has its own budget, spending and reporting dates, all in one system.

  • “Year-end audit is a scramble every single year.”

    Missing receipts, unreconciled accounts and a publishing deadline under the First Nations Financial Transparency Act.

    How we fix it: We help you close the books monthly, keep records audit-ready, and produce statements on time instead of at the last minute.

  • “Managers wait on finance for every report.”

    Directors can’t see their own budgets, so finance staff spend their days pulling numbers by hand.

    How we fix it: Real-time dashboards for program managers, directors and Chief and Council, each seeing the numbers they’re responsible for.

  • “Payroll takes days.”

    Staff across many programs, honoraria, seasonal workers, and costs split by hand between funding sources.

    How we fix it: Payroll and HR connected to your finances, with wages charged to the right program automatically.

  • “We can’t keep track of housing and capital projects.”

    Rent, arrears, repairs and project costs live in separate files that never match.

    How we fix it: Housing and capital project tracking built into your ERP, from rent and arrears to project budgets and costs.

  • “Our software is outdated, and nobody can fix it.”

    An old system that crashes, a vendor that doesn’t call back, and goals like FMB certification that feel out of reach.

    How we fix it: We help you choose and move to a modern system, with the controls and reporting that support your financial management goals.
