Client background

Formerly Phoenix First Assembly, Dream City Church is nestled within the Shadow Mountain Preserve, shining God’s light and impacting a city. With a full-time staff of 70, including 12 pastors, Dream City Church is one of the most active and fruitful churches in the Phoenix metropolitan area. After a rigorous evaluation, the church chose Baker Tilly over other on-premises and cloud solutions as the best fit to meet the needs of the organization.

The business challenge

• Dream City Church has four campuses, six entities, roughly $10 million in revenue and 70 full-time employees. Managing financial reporting for a growing church with such complex operations was difficult using their legacy software, Blackbaud Financial Edge
• Multi-entity consolidation was difficult to do in Blackbaud, and the finance team resorted to exporting the data to a separate report writer to manage consolidations
• The finance team struggled with limited reporting capabilities

Strategy and solution

• Sage Intacct provides Dream City Church with the powerful multi-entity consolidation features the church needs
• Sage Intacct has the ability to integrate with other current and future business systems via powerful and flexible APIs
• As Sage Intacct's Partner of the Year for four years running, Baker Tilly has a dedicated faith-based and not-for-profit consulting team that has led more than 100 implementations of Sage Intacct for churches and other not-for-profit organizations
