Case Study: Uniting Church in Australia achieves 10x faster budgeting and clearer financial insights with Kepion

Uniting Church In Australia Gains Greater Financial Insights With Kepion

Uniting Church in Australia, the third largest Christian denomination in Australia with 2,800 congregations and a rapidly growing internal client base, faced increasing complexity in forecasting income, allocating recoverable costs, separating direct and shared charges, and running what‑if analyses using fragile Excel models. To address these challenges the organization selected Kepion (using Kepion Planning 3.0 and Kepion Modeler, implemented with partner BizData) to replace spreadsheet-based budgeting and allocation processes.

Kepion delivered web‑based planning and reporting applications with form-driven, variable allocations and automated recalculation, enabling fast what‑if analysis and simplified rule changes. As a result, Kepion helped the Uniting Church in Australia scale its budgeting processes, reuse models across scenarios, and improve planning efficiency by roughly 10x—cutting tasks that once took 10 days down to a single day while ensuring automated consolidations and balanced budgets.
