ADP + Sage Intacct: A Powerful Partnership for Charities and Not-for-profits

MARCH 10, 2021 | BY NATALIE CRIGHTON

Every Not-for-profit Needs to Excel at Managing Staff and Money

Problems with either can compromise the core mission and put an organization in jeopardy. Yet many not-for-profits struggle with human resources and accounting. They direct as many resources as possible into altruism and as few resources as necessary into administration.

That’s where technology comes in. The right solutions for human resources and accounting empower not-for-profits. They need world-class capabilities to run their organisation perfectly.

ADP offers a complete toolkit for human capital management (HCM). That includes solutions for payroll, time & attendance, talent, benefits, and outsourcing. Everything a not-for-profit needs to manage all its staff and volunteers, including the ability to handle in-depth grant tracking requirements.

Sage Intacct fulfills the need for a complete financial management solution that’s robust enough to meet all accounting needs and specialized enough for the particulars of not-for-profit accounting. It’s a vast upgrade over Quickbooks and spreadsheets, and it’s suitable for any organization on an upward trajectory.

Individually impressive, these two solutions work even better together. A formal partnership between ADP and Sage Intacct means they integrate seamlessly with one another through API. Thanks to that partnership, running a NFP has never been easier.

Exploring the Integration Between ADP and Sage Intacct

To fully understand the potential of having integrated HR and accounting systems, it’s important to know how the integration works.

After implementing the core versions of both Sage Intacct and ADP, our expert consultants can work with ADP on your behalf to facilitate a seamless integration between the two systems.The average integration takes about a month, however time frames will vary because users can integrate more or less components depending on their needs.

Options include:

JMT Consulting Australia - ADP and Sage Intacct

A not-for-profit only needs the employee data and GL data components to integrate, but it can opt for all these capabilities and create a deep link between HR and accounting, the foundations of NFP management.

In whatever form the integration takes, the benefits are the same: Not-for-profits stop manually moving data between systems, which saves time, eliminates errors, and extends visibility into both HR and accounting. Greatest of all, they have a seamless source of record for their most important and fast-moving data.

It doesn’t make sense to isolate HR and accounting given how much overlap exists between the two. ADP and Sage Intacct agree. The native integration between the two products gives not-for-profits a complete solution for their biggest administrative hurdles – and the means to accomplish their most ambitious objectives.
