Hillels at universities everywhere work to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that those students may turn around and enrich the lives of other Jewish people around the world. Hillel at Stanford is especially dedicated to this mission, welcoming students into a safe space and facilitating inclusion. Whether times are good or turbulent on campus, Hillel at Stanford remains a steadfast, ever-present home for Jewish students.
The Challenge
Hillel at Stanford came to Jitasa with disorganized books and a treasurer who, although talented, did not have a background in nonprofit-specific accounting. Their goal was to ensure the books were legible and consistently accurate. Hillel at Stanford wanted Jitasa’s help cleaning up existing books, implementing processes to keep them clean in the future, and always ensuring accuracy.
The Solution
Jitasa’s team worked closely with Hillel at Stanford to clean up their existing records and develop a system of bookkeeping and accounting that would work for the Hillel team. Jitasa provides regular updates to their team and ensures they always have access to the financial information they need when they need it.
The Result
Rather than going through the expensive and challenging process of hiring an internal accountant, and then training that internal accountant on nonprofit-specific processes, Hillel at Stanford was able to save time and money by working with Jitasa. Not only that, but they now enter into conversations with major donors more confidently, knowing they can provide useful, correct numbers to these important supporters.
Why Jitasa?
Jitasa’s outstanding customer service is what stands out to Hillel at Stanford. Whether they have questions or feedback, Jitasa’s team is always available, receptive, and action-oriented to ensure the team at Hillel at Stanford is as comfortable and financially confident as possible. Jitasa’s experts were not only able to help organize and manage Hillel at Stanford’s books but also to provide ease of mind regarding what could otherwise be a stressful subject: finance.
