Workday Financials Implementation for a National Health-Focused Non-Profit
A national non-profit with $800M in annual revenue and 40+ active federal grants needed to replace a legacy accounting system that could no longer produce the financial statements its auditors expected.
The organization's existing system had no native grant tracking capability. Program staff were maintaining grant budgets in spreadsheets, reconciling manually at month-end, and producing audit schedules by hand. The annual audit required weeks of preparation, and the finance team had no confidence that restricted fund balances were accurate between reporting periods.
We led a full Workday Financials implementation with a grant management configuration built around OMB Uniform Guidance requirements. The chart of accounts was redesigned to support fund accounting natively, with segment structures that tracked restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted net assets separately. Grant worktags were configured to capture expenditures at the award, program, and cost category level, enabling real-time budget-to-actual reporting without manual reconciliation.
