"Over the last 5 years, we've grown significantly more events, more programs, more sponsorships that we are engaging, and there was a lot of manual work being done," says Jodi Posner, CFO, James Beard Foundation. Its previous system, QuickBooks, was cumbersome.
It needed a robust system that could comply with audits and manage day-to-day finances with event and donor data.
After events, the amount of manual administration took its toll on the team. Collating bills, receipts, sponsorship and donor money, and tickets sales left Jodi and her finance team time-poor.
Sage Intacct streamlined the month-end, through its automation, allowing time to be reallocated to business-essential tasks like strategic decision-making.
