Case Study: DonorsChoose.org boosts finance efficiency with Sage Intacct

Cloud-based financial management for a growing nonprofit

DonorsChoose.org, a growing nonprofit organization, needed to replace its outdated Blackbaud general ledger with a scalable, cloud-based financial management solution. Their key challenge was to automate processes and seamlessly integrate their financial system with Salesforce to handle exploding transaction volumes. They chose to implement the Sage Intacct cloud ERP software to address these needs.

Sage Intacct's integration with Salesforce streamlined revenue recognition and eliminated duplicate data entry, saving a full day of manual work each month. The solution automated accounts payable, reducing weekly processing from a day to just one hour and saving over 50 hours a month on rev rec, reporting, and A/P. This increased overall finance team efficiency by 20% and shortened the monthly close by 60%, from ten days to just four. The Sage Intacct implementation provided real-time financial visibility, ensuring better alignment between teams and preparing the organization for future growth.
