To accomplish this goal, SVCCJ needed to establish in-house capacity and processes for the administrative tasks that had previously been performed by the national office. SVCCJ asked RCG to help develop its financial operations. This successful project included the creation of the processes and procedures for the operation of a payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and bookkeeping function.
