Speaker: Kennedy Hilario, CEO of ACE Charter Schools
Before partnering with Charter Impact, what specific challenges or frustrations were you facing, and how did we help you overcome them?
Kennedy Hilario: 8th charter school faced many challenges before we decided to outsource our back office. Uh, first, our CFO and business manager had just left. We were using an archaic accounting system and we're behind in reporting to the district. Charter impact came in at the nick of time and helped us transition to a modern accounting system. Uh, it had a team of professionals that did an excellent job of catching us up and ensuring we were meeting our compliance deadlines, and they worked closely with our auditors to get our audit completed in time.
If someone asked you why they should choose Charter Impact, what's the number one reason you'd give them?
Kennedy Hilario: The number one reason that someone should choose Charter Impact as their back office provider is their people. Charter Impact has a deep bench of leading professionals who are cross-trained so that you never are without service. Even if someone is out sick or leaves the company, they have someone knowledgeable and able to keep things going without missing a beat. They're also very knowledgeable and have great advice and best practices that have been acquired from working with many charter schools in California and other states.
