At iplicit, we understand how complex students' union finances can get, with their multiple legal entities, fund management and differing VAT requirements. Our students’ unions accounting software simplifies matters, making light work of administrative tasks and providing accurate, real-time information so you can spend more time making students’ life at university easier.
The power and flexibility of iplicit’s cloud accounting software for students’ unions has made it the choice of a growing number of the UK’s best students’ unions – including those of Oxford Brookes, Reading, Bristol, Kent, Hull and Plymouth.
Your students’ union is likely to be the parent organisation for multiple entities which run nurseries, bars, welfare activities and more.
Iplicit’s accounting software for students’ unions makes it easy to consolidate the finances of all the entities making up the union, applying the relevant VAT arrangements for each one. When income and expenditure need to be distributed between those entities, it handles the task for you. And it compiles accurate, real-time data for each part of the union as well as the whole group.
iplicit believes the implementation process for new software should not be long and disruptive. We can get a system up and running in as little as 16 working days, with the minimum of trouble for the customer.
Too many finance teams spend much of their time bogged down in manual work. iplicit introduces automation for everyday tasks such as workflow and expenses approvals, bank reconciliation, intercompany transactions and consolidation.
Invoices and purchase orders are stored with the relevant line items, eliminating the hunt for records in case of queries or at audit time.
iplicit has an open API (application programming interface) for easy integration with other students’ union systems that you might already rely on – including student management systems like:
Getting accurate data from across the whole range of the union’s activities then becomes easier and gives the union much more financial visibility.
A students union consists of a host of budgets large and small, from catering operations to clubs and societies. Our students unions accounting software ensures each budget-holder benefits from accurate, real time information about their budgets and performances.
"We're definitely making better business decisions because managers can easily access iplicit and look at the figures.”
"Most student unions have to account for partial VAT and on iplicit this is straightforward – as it can be! - and the VAT return is easy to run, reconcile and submit."
“I can’t imagine what would have happened during ‘Lockdown’ if we hadn’t upgraded to iplicit.
It’s much easier to create documents with iplicit and the team is always there to help with that, whereas our old system could seem clunky in comparison.”
“The API link now means we no longer have to manually update our main student dashboard in SUMS with figures from the finance system. Instead, that dashboard is updated daily with those balances from iplicit, so the two systems are talking to each other, backwards and forwards, on a daily basis, which is superb.”
