Case Study: Educational Alliance achieves 66% faster month-end close with Emburse (Nexonia)

Digitizing finance helped this non-profit improve their month-end close time by 66% without relying on paper

Educational Alliance, a Manhattan non-profit serving 50,000+ people with over 1,000 staff across 15 sites, struggled with paper-based expense and invoice processes—about 1,000 transactions monthly—leading to lost receipts, duplicate entries, coding errors and regularly being more than 30 days behind on month-end close. To address this, they turned to Emburse and deployed Nexonia Accounts Payable and Nexonia Expenses with integration to Sage Intacct.

Emburse digitized Educational Alliance’s workflows with Nexonia’s configurable approval routing, digital receipt capture and bi-directional Intacct sync, eliminating paper and double-entry. The result: a 66% faster month-end close, 90% of errors caught before processing, an air-tight audit trail, better cashflow forecasting by program/location, and more AP time for spend analysis and vendor consolidation.
