Case Study: a global not-for-profit foundation achieves confident Workday go-live with Grant Thornton

a not-for-profit foundation gains real-time financial visibility with Grant Thornton

A not-for-profit foundation needed assurance that its Workday Financials implementation would align with its unique fund and grant accounting requirements while protecting its project timeline. Concerned that the business perspective was underrepresented, the foundation engaged Grant Thornton to serve as an independent advisor and provide business oversight for the Workday project.

Grant Thornton performed a rapid diagnostic assessment and then provided ongoing project support to ensure the configuration reflected not-for-profit best practices. The vendor served as a bridge between finance and IT, clarifying requirements and strengthening controls. As a result, the foundation went live with confidence, achieving real-time financial visibility, streamlined processes, and a reduction in manual tasks.
