Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

We use the Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT in our fundraising office. Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is rebranded as Raiser's Edge in the fundraising business. It helps a small school like ours manage relationships with our donors and community.

We converted to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT from an archaic system that is no longer in production and had no support...what a difference! In other industries, I have converted five financial/reporting systems, none of which went as smoothly as the conversion to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT.

We use it for groups that come in into our facility and individuals. There are no problems so far as we have been using it for almost a year now.

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.

In our organization, we use Blackbaud FENXT as our financial accounting software. Within this online cloud software we are able to work remotely, utilizing Expense Management workflows within the system. We have utilized the Credit Card feed feature and love the robust AP capabilities of the software (ACH payment options built-in, robust reporting features, multiple contact and great tracking and budgeting features). We also love the accounting and financial reporting features of this product. Blackbaud endeavors to update the system to with new features and improvements regularly and they are always available via chat, phone or email to help troubleshoot (an option if you cannot find help within their wonderful UserGuide or Blackbaud University Classes, on demand or live)! I truly appreciate a the wonderful software which is truly geared towards non-profit organizations. A double giant thumbs up from me with regards to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT!

We use it for accounts payable, fixed assets and accounting and reporting. I feel that it is a good platform with the exception of the financial statement presentation and the purchasing piece. Our old antiquated system printed the income statement on 2 pages but we cannot get Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT to do so and have discussed with support. My biggest issue is that we want to use it to do purchase requisitions but don't want non-financial users to have to enter a 4-segment account code per item to order. I worked through the set up with our implementation team only to find out that it would not work the way we had thought. I wanted to link the requisitioner to the cost center and item to g/l account so they would just have to select what they were ordering. Because of this we still have to use our old system for requisitions. Supposedly something may be in the works down the road but nothing definite has come through. Besides the time I spent on setup to only find out it would not work that way, we are very disappointed we have to use our old system for that piece. We do not have a large amount of items but need something to use.

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.

we use it for accounting, payables general ledger, reporting, issuing checks and doing the bank reconciliation.

if you are a new user, the reports are not very intuitive, you need to have board criteria's. there are no 'canned' reports, so you have to build your own, but once built, they are there to edit what your needs are for reporting.

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.

We use NXT for Full scale accounting services for all of the schools finances and it’s affiliates. It is the core product across all departments and integrates with the other BB systems we have.

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

We use Blackbaud FENXT as our accounting and budgeting system. In addition, we are integrated with Blackbaud Tuition Management and Webportal Webpurchasing.
Previously, we used Quickbooks and a in-house billing system. Migrating to the Blackbaud suite of products has allowed us to go paperless!
In addition, our school has grown in size and the efficiencies we have gained has allowed us to grow without adding headcount in the Business Office.

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.

Blackbaud FE streamlines the accounting process. The easy-to-use and intuitive system allows our department to focus on higher-level projects by compiling the data into easy-to-read reports. We use FE every day.

We replaced our old CYMA software with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT in order to have a complete accounting system in one program instead of having CYMA along with hundreds of spreadsheets.

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