Case Study: Community Resources for Justice achieves streamlined financial reporting and time savings with Epicor for Non‑Profit

Community Resources for Justice - Customer Case Study

Community Resources for Justice, a Boston-based non-profit supporting reentry and advocacy, was rapidly expanding after a merger (growing from $5.5M to $16.5M in annual revenues) but was still running an antiquated DOS-based financial system. The old system lacked flexibility for year-end closing, complex grant allocations, reporting and higher transaction volumes, all while the organization needed to keep costs and staffing tight.

They implemented Epicor for Non-Profit with support from Emerald Consulting, leveraging Advanced Allocations, Excel/FRx integration and core GL/AR/AP modules to automate workflows, import/export journals, and provide drill‑down reporting. The change delivered faster, more accurate financials, streamlined reporting and budgeting, improved cash-flow management, and scalable processes that supported growth — implemented on time and under budget.
