Case Study: LA Opera achieves faster, smarter finance operations with Sage Intacct

LA Opera operates in harmony with Sage Intacct

The LA Opera, a major nonprofit performing arts organization, faced significant operational challenges due to its fragmented legacy systems, including Great Plains and MetaViewer. This patchwork of disconnected software created data silos and required excessive manual work, slowing their month-end close to two weeks and hindering financial visibility for department heads. Seeking a modern solution tailored for nonprofits, they turned to the vendor Sage Intacct and its financial management platform.

By implementing Sage Intacct with partner Armanino, the LA Opera automated its core financial processes. The solution's AI now auto-populates 80% of invoices, saving 10-15 hours per week in accounts payable. This automation and powerful reporting tools cut their month-end close time by 50%, provided full financial transparency, and resulted in an audit with zero findings. Sage Intacct empowered the finance team to shift from administrative tasks to strategic initiatives, driving cost savings and supporting the organization's mission.
