Case Study: Education Pioneers achieves a 20-day faster monthly close and real-time financial transparency with Sage Intacct

Education Pioneers makes strides with Sage Intacct

Education Pioneers is a national nonprofit that recruits and develops talent for K–12 education. As it rapidly expanded to dozens of remote offices, its QuickBooks-based finance processes couldn’t keep up — staff struggled to allocate costs by funding source or program, and ad hoc reporting often took days, limiting financial transparency and agility.

Working with Armanino to implement Sage Intacct (integrated with tools like Nexonia and Salesforce), the organization automated payables, purchasing, expense and grant workflows, cutting the monthly close from 30+ to 10 days, reducing finance headcount needs, and giving managers real-time visibility into budget impacts. The result: faster, more accurate reporting, empowered local decision-making, and scalable finance operations that support continued growth.
