Case Study: Rare Inc. achieves faster financial closes and streamlined grant and spend management with Sage Intacct

Rare Inc. Chooses Intacct for Long Term Benefits

Rare Inc. is a nonprofit focused on environmental conservation and community behavior change that was growing about 15% annually. Its legacy, paper-heavy financial systems and manual Excel processes caused slow closes and limited financial visibility, prompting the organization to look for a cloud ERP that could scale globally without expanding IT staff.

Rare selected Intacct (implemented with Wipfli/Brittenford) for its cloud access, dimensionality, workflow automation and flexible reporting. The implementation quickly transformed the finance team—freeing up an estimated 60–70% of their time, speeding insights and closes, and enabling seamless Concur expense integration, stronger spend and grant management, and real-time budget transparency for managers and donors.
