Sage Intacct Planning satisfies FoodCorps hunger for smarter budgeting

FoodCorps’ steady growth prompted an upgrade from QuickBooks and Excel to Sage Intacct for general ledger accounting in 2016, creating greater visibility into its financial data and smart efficiencies. However, the nonprofit continued to struggle with budgets being built manually in spreadsheets by the 30 budget owners, so a budget planning solution was sought.

Sage Intacct Planning has enabled the FoodCorps finance team to improve collaboration and transparency with the 30 budget owners. In the past, Michelle said people felt detached from their budgets, but now they work more closely with budget owners on both budget creation and ongoing budget vs. actuals reporting, which has created more “clarity and context” to budget owners.
