Case Study: Fellowship Bible Church of Northwest Arkansas achieves real-time budgeting and in-house asset tracking with Blackbaud's Financial Edge NXT

Fellowship Bible Church of Northwest Arkansas - Customer Case Study

Fellowship Bible Church of Northwest Arkansas, led in finance by controller Greg Seay, found its operations limited by Microsoft Dynamics, which prevented staff from tracking assets and budgeting correctly. The church also relied on an outside party for fixed-asset tracking, faced long delays in month-end reporting, and managed an unwieldy 2,500-account structure.

By switching to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, the church gained a true nonprofit fund accounting system that enables real-time budgeting, in-house fixed-asset management, and stronger reconciliation controls. The team reduced account complexity from 2,500 to about 750 using project coding, sped up reporting, improved audit transparency, and saved time while meeting its operational needs.
