Case Study: Grace Fellowship Church achieves real-time financial insight and saves 1,000+ admin hours with Sage Intacct

Grace Fellowship Church places faith in Sage

Grace Fellowship Church is a 30-year-old, multi-campus congregation in Maryland serving about 1,600 members with $3.6M in annual contributions. The church relied on the on‑premises ACS Financial Suite but found it rigid, required time‑consuming manual data entry, and couldn’t provide the fund accounting, activity‑based budgeting, or real‑time reporting needed to support multiple campuses and sponsored nonprofits.

The church moved to Sage Intacct and integrated Bill.com and Tallie to automate workflows, streamline accounts payable, and centralize project and fund accounting with expense tagging. The new cloud system delivered role‑based dashboards and immediate financial visibility, eliminated over 1,000 hours of administrative work annually, and reduced staffing costs by about $22,000 while improving budgeting, reporting, and stewardship.
