Glendale staff weigh replacing QuickBooks with Caselle accounting software

Town staff and the mayor discussed switching the municipality’s accounting system from QuickBooks to Caselle. Candice said staff had experienced repeated problems with QuickBooks and asked the board to get the process started on Caselle; she cited the need for staff acceptance of any new system.

Mayor Chamberlain said the town had spoken with other vendors and wanted staff to be on board before committing; the Caselle subscription was presented with an estimated price of about $600 per month. The board did not vote to purchase software at the meeting and asked staff to continue vetting options.

Next steps include gathering more precise cost estimates, training implications for staff, and a recommended vendor choice returned to the board for a future action vote.
