Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

We incorporated Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT into our business prior to opening our children’s hospital to ensure we had a system to support a project of this magnitude. Having a financial system that works and is integrated with our donor database Raisers Edge NXT provides efficiencies we never experienced before. Managing and accounting for numerous designated restricted funds is key in reporting to our stakeholders. The accountability the system provides gives us the confidence and transparency needed to meet our goals and ensure compliance throughout our organization.

I use FE NXT for posting journal entries into ledger, extract information using the reporting function and also update fixed asset details

We use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT as our GL package, we have used the database version for years and now are using Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT more often. We are still learning the ins and outs of our specific needs, but I really like the reports. The reports are easier to access.

We use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT as our primary accounting system. We use all modules from AP to AR, Fixed Assets, GL ect. We like that it addresses our fund accounting complexity. We use it to track over 3,500 individual donor accounts at our foundation. Using projects for each different fund allows us to keep them all separate. Keeping them separate by project allows us to create custom reporting through a 3rd party to disseminate to campus users.

I use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT to run reports, track projects & invoices and run daily cash balances. And several other things.

I have been using Blackbaud since March 2013. When Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT became available in 2022(?), we upgraded to the web version. Our main focus in using Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT started as Accounts Payables, and Financial Statements. I have recently added Budget. There is so much capability within Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT that we have just scratched the surface of. Their support team is very quick to respond to concerns and can almost always "fix" what I can't seem to figure out.

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is our general ledger software/main accounting software and expense management software. We use it for credit card expense submittals and approvals, invoice and other payment requests submittals and approvals, general accounts payable, cash receipts, bank reconciliations, investment reconciliation, budget management, general ledger activity, financial reporting, financial statements, etc.

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT expense management has been great for us. Being able to set up approval rules and access for specific budgets and how easy it is to manage and adjust as needed has been great. It is a very user-friendly interface, so it's easy to train on and use. The custom management reports help make tracking projects a lot easier and has made our budget process so much easier. It is not a live tracking system throughout the year, rather than a big, time consuming project once a year to get it pushed out.

Using Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT - while implementation took a while - having the ability to view the trial balance and other reports with unposted transactions in the general ledger made it possible for us to fine-tune it and make sure we had it exactly as we needed it before posting and finalizing the initial data put into the system. I like the flexibility in our chart of accounts and the ability to use projects when warranted, but not required in all areas.

In my role as an accountant, I use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT to upload deposits, apply payments, run general ledger reports, research transactions, create new projects, upload documentation to invoices and agreements, create vendors, and research account activity. The benefit of utilizing this system is that when researching any sort of transaction, invoice, ledger, project or account there are search bars and filters that help narrow the scope of the information so the specific information can be found easily. Rather than sorting through manually thousands of files, or narrowing a date range and searching through multiple transactions, you can type in the name or deposit/payment ID into the search bar and the matching material will pull.

Financial Edge NXT is a full-featured business accounting system built for nonprofits. We use it for all of our finance-related tracking, including employee reimbursement, payroll, AR/AP, expense tracking, credit card management, all of our reporting, etc.

I have used Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT for 5 years. I appreciate Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT more than the database view but understand the importance of both. I utilize all of the accounting functions and like the user-friendly interface. There have been times when the functions that we need are momentarily down, but Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is good at communicating these issues and the status of resolutions through the status webpage. The knowledgebase page is very helpful for common issues that other users have had. I look forward to what Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT has to offer with the conversion to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT from the database.

We use the BB suite for our student database and fundraising and website as well as FE NXT. One factor is choosing BB was that it included all modules and was integrated. However, this is not exactly what happens in all cases. Our Tuition Mgmt did not originally integrate, and RE does not integrate with FE

I first began with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT in Accounts Payable and payroll. I now primarily use it for payroll only. I will create invoices for manual payroll checks that need to be re-issued, and then print them through the treasury features. I also use the database view to upload payroll GL entries, and web view to manage GL accounts and entries after the upload.

I use this software to manage and process accounts receivables and grants.

I am in charge of doing the accounts payable. FENXT has been so much more user-friendly than our previous software. It is easy to learn and easy to use.

I use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT do reconcile bank statements, Fixed Assets, deposits, run accounting reports.

We use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT as our company's complete accounting solution. We are a non-profit in the higher education space, raising resources for an affiliated community college, so it was of primary importance to have a product that integrated well with our donor database management solution, which is currently Raiser's Edge NXT. Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT easily handles the unique demands of nonprofit accounting for tracking net assets in restricted and unrestricted classes, in all ledgers. Because the two products are integrated, gift processing and reconciliation are part of a seamless workflow.

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT manages all our grant tracking needs for AR,AP, and Financial Budgets. It tracks expenses for each project so we can compare and report on each grant and category separately. Along with Budget to actual monthly reports. Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is the best tool I have used in the 32 years of my career, most of which has been non-profit accounting. It is very easy to learn and understand in the web view. They are making enhancements to the web view often.

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is used to maintain all accounting records for the school.

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is a great one for the organization that who has grant and project (compare to QB). It's more easy to create your budget. I like their database also.

I use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT for all things Accounts Payables, including invoices, purchase orders, and credit card expense reporting. I also use it for end-of-year 1099 reporting.

We currently use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT to process all of our daily transactions. I personally use the system on a daily basis to process the accounts payable side of our finance department. NXT allows all users within the finance team to collaborate on the financial status of our company.

I enter new vendors and invoices for payments. I process payments thru Batch Report. I review account balances and invoices. I run Reports and Queries.
I work in all aspects of Accounts Payable.

To run reports to confirm account balances/in the preparation of account reconciliations.

Staff and I use it mostly for general ledger and project reporting. We prefer to use the Database View (Citrix) because that is what we learned and are experienced with. A big problem for us is that NXT does not support Accounts Receivable which is a very important part of our business. Blackbaud has announced that they will take away our Database View at some time in the future, so I have been trying to use NXT more in order to learn it. In doing this, I've learned that some basic bank account functionality is not available on NXT--things like pre-reconciliation reports. The Database View has to be used for this ability. I prefer the general ledger and project reporting over Database View. It just seems easier to build and process the reports and their outputs.

It's not as user-friendly as the database version. I use it for reporting, but it seems to take longer to process the reports than the database version does.
