Case Study: Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School streamlines financial reporting with Brittenford Systems and Intacct

Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School - Customer Case Study

Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, a college preparatory school in Washington, DC, needed a new financial solution because its accounting, fundraising, student data, tuition payment, and reporting systems did not connect with each other. The school was manually re-entering data across Blackbaud Financial Edge, Raiser’s Edge, FACTS, and Veracross, and preparing board reports in Excel was slow and error-prone. Georgetown Visitation worked with Brittenford Systems to modernize its accounting and financial management processes.

Brittenford Systems implemented Intacct core modules, Non-Profit QuickStart templates, and SchoolConnect to integrate student management and tuition payment data directly with Intacct. The school now syncs tuition payments, address changes, donations, and other updates daily, and report preparation happens in Intacct instead of Excel. Hopkins said SchoolConnect eliminated 50% of one employee’s workload, and re-running financial reports now takes seconds, not hours.
