Streamlining back office processes

The Archdiocese of Detroit is responsible for the Catholic ministry across over 200 parishes in southeast Michigan. Most of its revenue is generated via assessment income from independent parishes, donations, and appeal campaigns. As a nonproft, the Archdiocese needs to carefully track each of these sources and related transactions. However, its legacy accounting system made this very cumbersome. 

IT recommended the move to a cloud-based financial management solution, but it was important that our team wouldn’t be overly burdened by having to learn a new system.

Great implementation

The Archdiocese worked with Sage Intacct implementation partner RSM to deploy the system, design a greatly simplified chart of accounts, and set up over a dozen entities to track its Chancery operations and campaign activities.

We chose Sage Intacct because its workflows were clear, clean, and user-friendly, and the solution was truly accounting-focused.

Automated financial processes increase productivity 25%

All of the process improvements are helping the organization reduce its monthly close cycle, which is currently 15% faster and trending towards 25%. Don estimates that he’s saving about 18% of his time on report preparation, and 20% on quarterly forecasting for budget-to-actuals.

Now [with Sage] we have the ability to drill down by dimension and review attached documentation with just a couple clicks.
