With over 150 countries in its international coalition and an increasingly diverse funding portfolio, the nonprofit organization outgrew their QuickBooks system and needed a cloud-based solution to meet its fund accounting and compliance requirements. Turning to Sage Intacct for Streamlined Manual Fund Accounting Processes and Increased Productivity White Ribbon Alliance worked with Cli onLarsonAllen, a Sage Intacct business partner, to implement Sage Intacct and migrate its QuickBooks files into the new system. Cli onLarsonAllen also helped White Ribbon Alliance adopt best practices around Sage Intacct, enabling the organization to quickly automate business processes such as fund management, foreign currency conversions, employee timekeeping, and payroll allocation. "As a global organization with different entities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria, QuickBooks was no longer meeting our needs when it came to international operations, reporting, or remote access for our distributed workforce," said Celine Okoh, chief financial officer at White Ribbon Alliance.

A er a wide-ranging evaluation process, we narrowed our options down to Sage Intacct or Oracle NetSuite.
