White ribbon alliance - United States

White Ribbon Alliance streamlines its reporting with Sage Intacct

Organization which advocates for women's and girls' health, rights, and gender equality takes a more strategic approach thanks to Sage software.

Incompatible reporting system

White Ribbon Alliance is a global NGO with multiple entity, location, and multi-currency requirements, but its existing QuickBooks solution didn’t have the ability to handle these requirements. It also couldn’t effectively manage the complexity of White Ribbon Alliance's grant requirements. It became clear that White Ribbon Alliance needed a more sophisticated accounting solution.

I made a list of what did not work and then came up with a requirement list [for the new software].

A clear winner

Based on White Ribbon Allaince’s requirements, it was between Sage Intacct and NetSuite. After the team had seen some demonstrations, there was only one winner. Sage Intacct provided all that the organziation needed and users felt comfortable taking the solution forward.

Sage Intacct's cloud-based system ended up as a clear choice over NetSuite because of its impressive multi-entity and multi-currency capabilities.

Less time closing the books

Sage Intacct has helped to streamline a number of White Ribbon Alliance’s processes. It used to close the books in around two and a half months - it now closes the books in around 15 days.

I'm more focused strategically on where I spend my time. I can do more visionary work as opposed to doing the day-to-day accounting that I used to do.
