Case Study: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro achieves streamlined nonprofit accounting and faster audits with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

Habitat Greensboro streamlines its financial operations with purpose-built nonprofit accounting software

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro, a nonprofit that has served more than 500 local families since 1987, needed a robust accounting system able to handle nonprofit fund and project accounting—tracking home sales, mortgage payments, asset classes, and construction-phase costs—capabilities its prior for‑profit software lacked. President and CEO David Kolosieke selected Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT to address these complexities and support the organization’s growth.

Using Financial Edge NXT, Habitat Greensboro now produces detailed nonprofit financial statements on demand, tracks costs by project ID and phase code, applies subfund and overhead allocations, and gives auditors view‑only access. The result: faster, more transparent reporting that strengthened donor trust, reduced audit time (audit completed in 30 days with the tax return delivered back to the board), and positioned the organization to scale operations (planning to start 40 homes and sell 36 in the coming year).
