October, 2017 – For the third year in a row, Jabian Consulting was named to Consulting Magazine’s Social & Community Investment Award List.

Senior Manager, Jacob Horr, led a pro bono project for Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte to help with inefficiencies in their current paper-based Accounts Payable process. Apparo, a nonprofit organization that empowers nonprofits through technology that enhances their missions, introduced Jabian to Habitat and helped to kick off the project. The scope of the project entailed visually documenting the current Accounts Payable processes, defining future state recommendations, and developing a prioritized roadmap for the next one-to-three years that included quick wins and longer-term initiatives to enable the selection of a new toll to automate the process.

Near-term recommendations have already resulted in savings of 250 staff hours a year and the output of this project was used to request and obtain budget for a new Accounts Payable tool that will continue to improve their processes and support growth that they have been experiencing. Jabian helped Habitat look further than challenges with the tool, but also areas where communication and process required improvement.

“Leadership at Jabian is guided by the principal that if Jabian were to leave one of its cities tomorrow, that the entire community would feel the impact,” Horr says. “They are committed to supporting and empowering their practitioners, like myself, to follow their professional and personal passions to make a difference in our communities.”
