Improving financial health and sustainability

Sage Intacct, the innovation and customer satisfaction leader in cloud financial management, and GuideStar, the world’s largest source of nonprofit information, are working together to improve the financial health and sustainability for nonprofits with innovative new dashboards.

The Nonprofit Financial Board Book is a set of pre-built dashboards that automates the tracking and management of industry-wide best practice metrics to deliver real-time insights to help nonprofit organizations benchmark financial health and sustainability. Report data and dashboards are seamlessly calculated using real-time balance sheet, revenue, and expense data from Sage Intacct, and through additional operational sources from within the organization, including its Donor Management Systems, Budgeting and Planning software, Payroll, and more. The dashboards provide a graphical view of the key data as recommended by GuideStar and in alignment with GuideStar formats.

By incorporating best practices from GuideStar, the dashboards enable nonprofits to more easily keep an eye on their balance sheet performance, funding mix, and the overall composition of key revenue sources to ensure sustainability.
