Case Study: Streamlining Not-For-Profit Financial Management with Access ERP Software
Since implementing Access Financials in 2020, Blue Ventures Conservation—a leading conservation organisation—has transformed its business operations with a powerful integrated business management solution. By leveraging Access Financials and Access Expense, the organisation has significantly improved accounting automation, enhanced operational visibility, and simplified nonprofit financial management.
This case study explores how an all-in-one ERP system enabled Blue Ventures Conservation to streamline accounting processes, unify data across departments, and eliminate the need for third-party tools.

The challenge
Operating across 15+ countries, Blue Ventures faced inefficiencies from fragmented financial systems. Disconnected tools for accounting, expenses, and reporting led to manual processes and limited visibility into project finances
The approach
Implementing an industry-leading cloud-based ERP solution that empowers Blue Ventures to streamline financial management, unify data across departments, and scale with nonprofit-specific features like project-based accounting, grant tracking, and multi-currency support.
The results
- Faster monthly financial close process
- Reduction in expense processing time
- Zero third-party integrations required
- Real-time financial visibility across all projects

We’ve benefited especially because of Access Expense being able to integrate with Access Financials, that brings ease of management as we don’t have to go through third party applications. That itself is a pro and the fact it’s an all-in-one ERP system.
