Workforce development 2. Policy and Advocacy 3. Research, Evaluation and Epidemiology and 4. Health and Human Services. Urban Indians are tribal people currently living off federally defined tribal lands in urban areas. Today, seven out of 10 American Indians/Alaska Natives live in urban se ings. Today, SIHB is recognized as a leader in the promotion of health improvement for urban Indians, locally and nationally. SIHB employs 190+ people and serves approximately 6,000 patients annually in King County, Wash., and more than 4,000 of those identify as American Indian and/or Alaska Native. SIHB delivers medical, dental, Traditional Indian Medicine, substance abuse, pharmacy, mental health, and nutrition services, while running programs from seniors and youths and working to combat homelessness among urban American Indians and Alaskan Natives. Founded in 1970, the nonprofit relies on grants from federal, state, county, and city government agencies, as well as it's FQHC medical clinic, to fund its growing operations. Managing that financial information, however, was hindered by an outdated legacy accounting application. "It was difficult to both get data in and get data out," said Ben Luety, who joined SIHB as its CFO in 2016. "The system didn't allow for any flexibility and didn't have the ability to be transparent with the data. The whole thing was circa 1990." Luety, a CPA with prior experience in banking and nonprofits, made an upgrade to a more sophisticated and flexible accounting platform a top priority. Sage Intacct proved to be the ideal solution. Deploying the cloud financial management platform in 2016, SIHB has dramatically improved its accounting practices and its ability to be er serve its constituency. Finance team productivity has soared 50% and weeks of manual work have been eliminated. That's freed time to build dashboards used by dozens of operational leaders to closely monitor spending and make data-driven decisions that heighten SIHB's social impact. Solutions Delivering Answers in 2 Minutes, Not 2 Days Having used NetSuite in a previous job, Luety knew that he wanted to use Sage Intacct at SIHB. "Sage Intacct does an outstanding job in ge ing data in the hands of decision-makers," Luety said.
