Power plus simplicity, minus confusion, equals the ARC Polaris™ Accounting Module. This centralized solution keeps financial management streamlined and centralized — and keeps accountants happy.
From dues to online donations to events registration, Polaris funnels every transaction into one place for fast, simple processing with zero redundancy. This module not only talks with other Polaris modules across the system, it integrates with your existing accounting software.
It’s designed with a range of purchasing habits in mind. If a member wants to pay dues online at 2 a.m. or donate in installments, Polaris makes it simple. If he pays for three days of a conference and your policies let him scale back to two days, he gets his money back sooner, with less fuss on your end.
Most importantly, Polaris is designed for the hard-working people in the trenches: the accountants. We give them functions like deferred revenue recognition, Quickbooks integration, and recurring payment and batch accounting capabilities — things that glaze over mere civilian eyes but add a gleam to theirs.
Does your organization offer life membership in installments? Do you want to give a member some extra time to write you a check? Thanks to Polaris’ recurring and deferred payment capabilities, members can opt to receive future invoices or make installment payments — at your discretion, of course.
Our automatic invoices let you generate invoices for monies owed by your sponsors or your members. This includes accounts receivable billing. You’ll be able to control who can pay by purchase order and easily track payments and delinquent accounts.
During an audit, your accountants have to reconcile the money going into your system with the numbers in their accounting software and pull summary information on demand. That explains the bottles of antacid on their desk. Polaris lets them relate a summary journal entry to a batch, and then drill down into that batch for easy reconciliation. Now they’ll be smiling and stress-free (and feasting on spicy take-out).
From membership and donations to events and the online store, all Polaris modules use this module to process and track payments. And this integration extends to your current financial system. Want to import transactions into your Peachtree, Quickbooks, Shelby, Great Plains Dynamics, or Solomon software? No problem.
Instantly download reports to reconcile not only how much money came into the system with your bank, but also what the money was used for. For example, you’ll see the day’s total funds entering your bank account and track what goes to college membership, what goes to convention registration, and what goes to donations.
Bounced check? No problem (at least for you). You’ll be able to charge related fees to the member and keep this person from making check payments for as long as you want. By marking certain invoices as delinquent, Polaris lets authorized users quickly find out who owes money — without phone calls or manual intervention.
