Case Study: Diocese of Saint Edmundsbury and Ipswich achieves financial control with Xledger

Diocese of Saint Edmundsbury and Ipswich - Customer Case Study

The Diocese of Saint Edmundsbury and Ipswich, which supports 477 local churches from a central office in Ipswich, needed to regain financial control across a complex multi-entity structure and obtain real-time, in-depth analysis of its finances. The diocese selected Xledger’s cloud finance system and went live in June 2017 to provide a scalable, multi-entity platform that could grow with the organisation.

Xledger implemented a configurable solution with live consolidation, multi-dimensional reporting, project-level cost approval, and automated workflows; the system was deployed in just over three months. As a result, routine tasks were cut from days to hours, budget holders can pull detailed reports within ten minutes, bank imports and parish statements are automated, audits have been completed remotely during COVID-19, and the diocese has achieved stronger cash‑flow control and greater efficiency with a smaller team thanks to Xledger.
