I am familiar with it from a chapter management (regional volunteer working with chapters) perspective.

Sigma has been using it since 2009.

I find that most advisors think that it makes management easier.

Deposits are direct to the chapter account, Recruitment Directors/VPs of Recruitment can be issued a prepaid credit card with recruitment budget, rather than waiting to be reimbursed, records are better kept in terms of who still owes what, etc.

Same here, I'm the financial adviser for two chapters and I like BH - I can get in there and run reports to keep track of things and pull information out that I need to work on budgets and various forms as well as approve checks and prepaid card load requests.

From a chapter management perspective, it's a great way to get a quick view of how chapters are spending their money - or not spending it (which often has a direct correlation with areas of chapter life and health). Getting an eye view of collections can often signal issues with member engagement/retention early on.

The reporting functions are great - but it does require a bit of training (or knowledge of accounting systems) to harness that power.
