Case Study: The Heritage School achieves greater efficiency and effectiveness with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

The Heritage School - Customer Case Study

The Heritage School, a co‑educational independent day school in Newnan, Georgia serving pre‑K–12 students, needed a more modern, user‑friendly financial system when CFO Neal Pike joined in 2016. The school was on the legacy Financial Edge platform and sought improved mobile access, easier reporting across four school divisions, and tighter integration with its admissions and tuition systems (Smart Tuition and On Products).

The school upgraded to Financial Edge NXT and completed a seamless data migration and implementation. Within months the team was using new drill‑down reporting, accessing the database remotely, and realizing time savings and greater efficiency; full integration with Blackbaud’s On Products and Smart Tuition is expected to further streamline operations and boost staff effectiveness.
