LA Opera operates in harmony with Sage Intacct

LA Opera - United States

Sage Intacct automates LA Opera’s complex nonprofit finance operations, cutting month-end close time, boosting accounts payable productivity, and delivering real-time financial clarity.

Off key and out of sync

LA Opera’s finance function was spread across disconnected systems that required extensive manual data entry, leading to slow reporting and prolonged month-end closes. With over 1,200 staff and a $50 million budget, these inefficiencies limited transparency and made routine tasks time-consuming and error-prone. A modern, unified financial platform was needed to orchestrate a smoother performance.

Sage Intacct has transformed our finance function completely.

A new tempo with Sage Intacct

Using AI-powered automation, Sage Intacct auto-fills 80% of incoming invoices, dramatically reducing manual tasks and errors. Manual spreadsheet reports have been replaced by dynamic custom dashboards that deliver real-time financial insights across teams and leadership. Sage partner Armanino expertly fine-tuned the implementation to align perfectly with nonprofit needs.

We’re getting back 10 to 15 hours every week, just in AP
