Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

We use FE NXT for all aspects of our Accounting and Finance: - to enter our Revenue and Expenses (AR/AP); - run financial reports; - track budgets; - and manage treasury accounts. Our FE database is linked to our RE donor database, which eliminates the need for double data entry.
  • Interfaces with donor database.
  • Invoices are easy to input.
  • Easy to search for information.
  • Ability to use tags in report building.
  • Ability to rename reports.
  • The ability to run reports was down for several weeks recently.
  • I still use the database view to make journal entries. I can't get used to the interface, and many features are not available in NXT, such as global change.
  • Ease of Invoicing.
  • Custom reports.
  • Ease of bank reconciliations.
  • Ability to search for records.
  • The main objective of a Nonprofit accounting department is transparency. NXT is one of the most important tools in guaranteeing the validity of our reporting.
  • The ease of use and short learning curve saves our staff time.
  • The reporting function was down during our audit. There was a workaround, but Blackbaud was slow to communicate the problem and fix it.
NXT is created for the specific unique needs of the nonprofit industry. Quickbooks is usable but doesn't have the functionality and reliability of NXT. It has been many years since I used Quickbooks, so maybe it has improved, but I don't know of another accounting program that is created especially for the nonprofit industry.

The best thing about Financial Edge is the ability to bring donor records over from our Raiser's Edge donor database, eliminating the need for double entry. Financial Edge is built for nonprofits. It's not an accounting program adapted to the industry. I also like the ease of entering invoices. Especially the ability to copy a previous invoice. Such a time saver.
