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.
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.
LA Opera cut its month-end close time by 50%, saved 10 to 15 hours weekly through accounts payable automation, and achieved full financial transparency. Department managers gained direct access to their budgets, fostering accountability and proactive budget management. With zero audit findings and improved forecasting capabilities, the team is empowered to plan strategically and optimize operations.
