Baker Tilly Digital provides church with multi-entity consolidation

Baker Tilly Digital helps Dream City Church manage four campuses and multiple entities with Sage Intacct.

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 Digital 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
We really like the reporting compared to our old system which required a great deal of work in Excel. We have multiple entities and couldn’t get combined financials in our old system.
Linda Gray, Director of Accounting, Dream City Church
