Jitasa is the largest national accounting and bookkeeping provider dedicated solely to the nonprofit sector. Our name means “The Spirit of Serving Others,” and we are passionate about broadening nonprofit outreach.
Jitasa began supporting Scouting America Councils in January 2011, since then we have spent time developing bookkeeping and accounting solutions dedicated to improving our client councils’ accounting function.
In May 2011, Jitasa was formally named as Scouting America's Preferred Vendor for Shared Accounting Services. We currently work with over 100 Scouting America councils across all four regions. Plus, we offer an entire team of Accounting Associates dedicated strictly to Scouting America accounting and trained to work directly in PeopleSoft and all other Scouting America accounting and finance systems.
With our team based service model you receive continuity of service from a fully staffed accounting department trained in Scouting America accounting systems and processes. In addition, Jitasa is the first Scouting America vendor to be granted full access to the Scouting America firewall, allowing for operational efficiencies. And finally, our pricing is simple and flat rate. Once we’ve determined the services that best suit your council’s needs, you’ll receive the same bill every month, with no surprises or hidden fees.
Scouting America councils we serve are delighted. In Net Promoter Score surveys conducted since December of 2016, many of our Scouting America client councils rated Jitasa with the highest rating possible, with 83% of our client councils stating they would refer Jitasa to a friend or colleague.
