Case Study: Williston Northampton School achieves 360-degree financial visibility and streamlined reconciliation with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT and Raiser’s Edge NXT

Williston Northampton School - Customer Case Study

Williston Northampton School, a historic boarding and day school serving about 500 students, faced a major accounting challenge: an outdated financial system that couldn’t produce essential financial statements, required duplicate data entry, and made reconciliations slow and error-prone—hindering timely reporting to trustees, department heads, and donors.

By implementing Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT alongside Raiser’s Edge NXT and designing a general ledger and monthly reconciliation routine, the school automated integrations, streamlined data entry, and created audience-tailored reports. The result is reliable, transparent financial reporting that saves staff time, supports better budgeting and spending decisions, and meets board and donor expectations.
