Confirmation of financials becomes too complex

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland serves parishioners across the entire state of Maine through over 100 distinct entities. This complex organization struggled to manage its financial reporting because a central finance team used one accounting system at the main chancery office, while the parishes used another software program with separate databases for each entity.

We didn’t think we would find a solution that could work for all of our entities, because they’re each so different.

Financial reconciliation is streamlined

Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland’s finance team estimates that Sage Intacct is freeing up about 10% of their time by streamlining manual processes surrounding report preparation,consolidations, accounts payable, and expense management.

We can do all of our entity-level and global reporting right in Sage Intacct, and can consolidate everything efficiently each month.

Mass oversight of the finances

One of the best perks the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland has enjoyed since making the switch to Sage Intacct is access to standardized, accurate, and timely financial information for easier entity oversight. The organization can now analyse real-time performance by various drivers without having to manage a complex chart of accounts.

Sage Intacct’s dimensions really are life-changing, and the system’s reporting possibilities are endless. There isn’t anything it can’t do.
