Case Study: WMHT Public Media boosts finance efficiency by 25% and gains grant visibility with Sage Intacct

Nonprofit media organization boosts efficiency by 25% and gains valuable grant visibility

WMHT Public Media is a New York–based nonprofit public media organization that supports education, culture, and civic engagement across multiple broadcast channels with roughly $8M in funding from grants, sponsors, and donors. Its legacy on‑premises accounting system grew increasingly clunky as fund and project accounting complexity rose, making reporting slow, remote work difficult, and risking missed grant deadlines and budget overruns.

By moving to Sage Intacct, WMHT automated manual processes, eliminated heavy Excel reliance, and built dashboards and dimensional reporting for projects, departments, and grants. The finance team gained real‑time visibility for grant reporting and spend management, increased efficiency by 25%, cut the monthly close from 12 to 5 days, reduced DSO and AR aging (including a 20% drop in DSO and a 50% cut in 90+ day aging), and improved cash flow by 19%.
