While it's great for development teams, Basecamp works for finance teams as well. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to answer a question from one of our community members about how to set up finance and accounting processes in Basecamp, so I figured I'd share it here too. Here's a screenshot of our main accounting project. To-dos are essential for the day to day in accounting. The most important one is the month end close to-do list, which is set to recur every month. We've upped our game in terms of process documentation, so the to-dos are enhanced with detailed instructions or links to longer process documents. There are two sets of Documents in this project.  Financial Docs retains all of the necessary monthly documentation related to the close - account reconciliations, bank statements, vendor expense schedules, etc.  Process Documentation houses all of the long form process instructions that we've written over the last couple of years. Not all of the finance work can be done in Basecamp, so we set up Doors to link to our Bank, Payroll, GL and Expense Management systems. Finally, we utilize the Client functionality to allow for async communication and file sharing with our external tax accountants. Financial information is sensitive, so the project is set to be invite-only. All of the history is there. Every discussion or comment when new issues emerge. It's a great way to keep the team organized and in the know, and a dream scenario for any new finance or accounting hire that needs to onboard.
