Case Study: St. Peter - St. Joseph Children's Home achieves real-time financial insight and faster monthly close with Sage Intacct

St. PJ's Children's Home fosters better financial management with Sage Intacct

St. PJ’s Children’s Home is a 125‑year‑old nonprofit in San Antonio that provides residential care and programs for children in crisis. Changes in Texas’s foster care system and a strategic shift toward shorter‑term placements increased variability in financial metrics and heightened reporting needs, exposing limitations in their legacy accounting processes and requiring clearer, data‑driven communication with funders.

By adopting Sage Intacct, St. PJ’s gained real‑time dashboards, a dimension‑based general ledger, and integration with donor software, automating grant reporting and eliminating duplicate data entry. The result: dozens of hours saved per month, reconciliations cut from two days to 90 minutes, monthly close shortened by 2–3 days, audit time halved (saving $5,000/year), and the ability to support tripled budget and transactions with only one additional finance staff—paying for the software in under six months.
