Time back, hope forward

Catholic Charities of Oregon - United States

From a six-month close to answering donor questions on demand—Catholic Charities of Oregon found the speed, accuracy, and transparency to keep serving when it matters most.

Six months in the dark

"The biggest challenges before Sage Intacct was basically our financial close would take six months." Finance was buried under paper-based processes, ineffective procedures, and endless reconciliations. Simple answers took days, and time that could go into planning and mission impact was lost to chasing spreadsheets and fixing avoidable errors.

There was a lot of procedures in place that just were not effective.

Turning stacks of paper into space to think

"We are no longer paper-based. Everything is electronic." Sage Intacct streamlined contracts, grants, and allocations, cutting multi-day processes down to minutes. With integrations from marketplace partners and easier access to information, finance could finally shift from digging for data to delivering insight that guides both the board and the mission.

Once we set the rules… we validate the data, trust the process, and then trust what the system gives back.

Every day gained is a chance to do more

Monthly closes are now over 150 days faster than before—an 83% reduction in time. Reports land with the board and donors on schedule, grants are tracked to the cent, and compliance is airtight. With more time for analysis and forecasting, the team can act earlier to protect programs and reach the communities that depend on them.

Sage Intacct helped us keep us accountable to donors… keeping track of our grants and compliance.
