What our clients say about us
75%
Reduction in month-end close time
We cut our month-end close from 3 days to 4 hours. The reconciliation that used to take my whole Monday now runs overnight automatically. I actually left on time on the last day of the month for the first time in 6 years.
240+
Man-Hours Saved Per Year
Honestly, I didn't realize how much time we were wasting until FINACS showed us. Journal entries, budget reports, variance tracking — it was eating up our entire week. We did the math after the first quarter and we'd recovered over 240+ hours. My team couldn't believe it.
28 days
From contract to fully live
We were nervous about switching mid-year. MentisSoft's team ran a parallel close for two weeks so we could verify every number before flipping the switch. We went live in 28 days with zero data loss.
40+ hrs
Recovered per month
I was spending two weeks every quarter on board reporting. FINACS generates the same reports in minutes. My CFO was skeptical until she saw the first demo — now she tells every school she meets about it.
