In 2011, Academic Search implemented Intuit QuickBooks Online as its ERP Financial application to centralize billing, deposit processing, and expense workflows. The deployment focused on supporting administrative and finance operations for Academic Search staff in Washington DC, consultants, researchers, and candidates, aligning financial recordkeeping with organizational contract and invoicing activities.
Intuit QuickBooks Online was configured to manage accounts receivable and contract billing files, create and update pending invoices, record installment payments, and maintain billing file documentation. The implementation covered deposit processing and deposit log maintenance, expense report intake and validation, reimbursements, and invoicing support, using standard ERP Financial capabilities such as customer records, chart of accounts alignment, and transaction posting.
Operational coverage routed financial touchpoints through the Administrative Assistant for day to day deposit preparation and billing file updates, while expense reports and reimbursement requests were reviewed and forwarded to the Chief Financial Officer for check preparation. The system supported administrative workflows for proposal preparation and institution file maintenance, embedding Intuit QuickBooks Online into both frontline administrative tasks and formal finance procedures.
Governance and workflow changes centered on a weekly deposit log review presented to the President, a finance approval handoff from the Administrative Assistant to the CFO for payments and invoicing, and ongoing assistance to the CFO with institutional file maintenance and invoicing processes. These controls established clear responsibilities for transaction capture, validation, and executive review within the ERP Financial environment provided by Intuit QuickBooks Online.
