Epicor (legacy) to Sage Intacct + Salesforce + Adaptive Insights

The Challenge

A global literacy nonprofit operating across 16 countries with 25 entities had outgrown their legacy Epicor system. A bloated chart of accounts (56,000 accounts), inconsistent reporting across 19 currencies, and manual reconciliations consumed finance capacity that should have been focused on mission impact.

What We Did

Replaced outdated Epicor system with Sage Intacct

Integrated Salesforce and Adaptive Insights

Consolidated chart of accounts from 56,000 to 100 across 25 entities

Standardized reporting across 16 countries and 19 currencies

Automated reconciliations to free capacity for mission-focused analysis

The Results

Metric Before After
Chart of accounts 56,000 accounts 100 accounts
ROI – 402% with 4-month payback
Productivity (global finance) Baseline +25-30% improvement
Revenue increase – +15%
Annual labor savings – ~$300,000 (3 FTE equivalent)

The Takeaway

The organization consolidated 56,000 accounts down to 100, standardized reporting across 16 countries and 19 currencies, and unlocked $300K in annual labor savings.
