Case Study: Elevation Church simplifies budgeting and reporting with Abacum

How Elevation Church simplified budgeting and reporting

Elevation Church, a large multi-site religious organization with 621 employees in the United States, needed a better way to manage its bottom-up budgeting process across 50–70 budget owners each year. Its previous tool was difficult for non-financial users to navigate, leading to slow collaboration, manual work, and delays in budgeting and reporting.

Abacum provided a flexible FP&A platform with collaborative spaces, real-time general ledger integration, and intuitive status tracking to simplify budget collection, review, and approvals. With Abacum, Elevation Church finished its annual budgeting cycle earlier than ever, improved engagement from budget owners and stakeholders, and reduced subscription costs while gaining a more powerful reporting and planning solution.
