Case Study: Conrad N. Hilton Foundation achieves flexible, cloud-based accounting and real-time financial visibility with Sage Intacct

Conrad N. Hilton Foundation enjoys easier pay-outs with Sage Intacct

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is a family foundation that manages roughly $2.4 billion in assets and distributes about $100 million annually in grants. As the organization grew—doubling headcount and expanding programs—it found its legacy financial system couldn’t slice data by department or program and left many accounting processes slow and manual.

The foundation implemented Sage Intacct’s cloud financial system to automate accounts payable, grant payments, time and expense tracking, and reporting. The solution enabled paperless bill processing, quick imports from vendors like ADP and State Street (saving days of monthly data entry), real-time, multi-dimensional dashboards for each department, and stronger audit controls—freeing the finance team to focus on analysis and improving compliance.
