The Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT)
Breathing easier with better books — how CSRT modernized accounting to focus on what matters most.
About CSRT
The Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT) is the national professional association representing over 4,400 respiratory therapists across Canada. Founded in 1964, this non-profit organization supports excellence in cardiorespiratory care and professional development. By 2018, CSRT needed a financial system that could match its growing scope and digital-forward vision.
The Challenge
Pain Points:
- Old processes and need modernization
- Cost efficiency and scalability
- Inaccurate or incomplete financial reporting
Impact:
Their internal systems didn’t support the level of financial clarity and adaptability needed for a modern non-profit. This slowed decision-making and hindered strategic development as the organization sought to better serve its growing membership.
The Desired Outcome
Goal:
CSRT needed a future-proof, cloud-based accounting system to:
- Enhance operational efficiency
- Support a leaner, more mobile infrastructure
- Free up internal resources for high-impact strategic work
Our Solution
Onboarding:
Zenbooks conducted a full review of CSRT’s financial processes(Clarity Assessment). We helped them transition away from legacy systems and move entirely to cloud-based tools.
Ongoing Support:
- Implemented money-saving, modern accounting tools
- Provided continuous strategic financial guidance
- Helped integrate a leaner structure aligned with CSRT’s evolving digital and operational goals
What Was At Stake
Without this transformation, CSRT risked falling behind in its ability to adapt and deliver value to its members. This could have resulted in membership numbers dropping and impacting viability of the organization. A legacy accounting infrastructure would have created increasing friction, resource inefficiencies, and missed strategic opportunities.
From CSRT’s Perspective
“We came out strong. The transformation helped us operate with more agility and serve our members better.”
“Zenbooks helped us create a system that saves money and is more useful. We’re more impactful because of it.”
