quotes

The driving factor for choosing Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT was its reliability and flexibility. I needed a system that could keep our financials separate but allow consolidation when necessary. The software’s ability to manage complex fund classifications, such as undesignated, restricted, and endowed funds, was critical for our operations.
