Case Study: Walden Behavioral Care achieves 50% faster budgeting and planning with Sage Intacct

Walden Behavioral Care forecasts a healthy future with Sage Intacct

Walden Behavioral Care, a specialty behavioral health provider with 15 inpatient and outpatient locations, was hampered by slow, error-prone budgeting in Excel and desktop accounting. Budgeting required dozens of linked workbooks and frequent manual reconciliation, creating version-control headaches and making COVID-era reforecasting slow and difficult.

By adopting Sage Intacct Budgeting and Planning (integrated with Sage Intacct accounting) Walden gained fast self-implementation, flexible scenario planning and granular headcount modeling. The change cut budget export time from two weeks to two hours, improved budgeting efficiency by at least 50%, increased forecast frequency sixfold, enabled COVID reforecasts in days instead of weeks, and delivered deeper insights and faster reporting.
