After nearly 20 years of legacy church management and accounting software from Shelby Systems, Seacoast decided to upgrade to a new cloud-based solution that could better handle the needs of an expanding multi-campus church.
Our chart of accounts got very complex and as we added more locations, we faced a number of data management challenges with our old system.

No more complex financial reporting
Since implementing Sage Intacct, Seacoast is seeing huge improvements in all of its financial processes – shortening their financial close by over 40 hours per month while adding a new campus. One of the biggest changes is to their complex financial report preparation, which used to take days of combining and manipulating data in Excel and was sometimes error-prone.
Now with Sage Intacct, we can generate a single report with a one-page recap of our financials, [and] a second page for campus-level consolidations.

Visibility on all scenarios
Overall, Sage Intacct makes it easier to support the church’s finances and report them effectively, giving Seacoast’s donors and auditors confidence that the organization is managing its finances well. Seacoast now has greater operational visibility than ever before.
With Sage Intacct, we’re able to look at various scenarios and know what the impact of certain decisions would be.
