From Grants to General Ledger: Building a Single Source of Truth in Financial Edge

Nonprofit finance teams are expected to report with precision across multiple funding streams, grant requirements, and fiscal periods — often pulling data from disconnected spreadsheets, siloed systems, and manual reconciliations (and hoping there are no formula errors along the way).

The result is a fragile reporting environment where confidence in the numbers is never quite guaranteed and always in question.

This webinar explores how to leverage Financial Edge to establish a single source of truth that connects grant management activity directly to your general ledger, and vice versa. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to structure their chart of accounts, project codes, and reporting hierarchies so that every dollar — restricted or unrestricted — is tracked, auditable, and ready for both internal decision-making and external compliance.

Learning Objectives:

• By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Design a chart of accounts and project/grant coding structure within Financial Edge that supports unified reporting

• Map the flow of grant transactions from award through expenditure to financial statement presentation

• Reduce reconciliation time by aligning grant tracking directly with GL entries
