We are a non-profit legal aid agency and I'm trying to set up a Client Trust (IOLTA) bank account within Blackbaud. We receive money from our clients that go into this trust account. Then we write checks on behalf of our clients to various vendors. We need to keep a separate balance for each client which equals the total dollars in the bank account. Any ideas how to best accomplish this would be appreciated. We currently have GL/AP/Fixed Assets/Payroll modules
We already have a separate bank account set up in Financial Edge, and we use Cash Management to enter manual checks and deposits for this account. What I am missing is a system to keep track of each client's balance. Any ideas?
The Account's Receivable module does sound like the module you are looking for. Account's Receivable allows you to track each client's balance seperatly, and provides the ability to establish default payment responsibility for each client record, enabling you to bill a third party for a portion, or all, of a client’s charges and services rendered.
Here is a link to the Account's Receivable module documentation for more information. Hope this helps.
