North Sydney Leagues Club Limited, commonly known as norths, was founded in 1955. Over the past fifty-odd years norths has evolved into a sophisticated and innovative entertainment and recreational centre servicing Sydney’s lower north shore community. Its properties include norths club, the historic North Sydney Bowling Club, Seagulls Club located on the NSW/Queensland border, and two fitness centres.
While the company evolved over time, its financial systems didn’t. It took anywhere between 18 and 22 days to finish month end processing and reporting. A big part of the problem was the need to continually enter and reconcile data in spreadsheets, ensuring that as each change was made, the results were correct. The need was to replace spreadsheets, four general ledgers and an outdated financial system with an integrated business intelligence and financial system.
Norths looked at two financial solutions and finally selected Microsoft Dynamics GP. Professional Advantage was chosen to carry out the implementation.
