Chart of Accounts Health Advisor in Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT® Draws from Industry Best Practices to Provide Always-On Intelligent Insights at No Additional Cost

CHARLESTON, S.C., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading provider of AI-powered solutions for social impact, today announced a new Chart of Accounts Health Advisor coming to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT® to help nonprofit finance teams gain greater clarity, consistency and confidence in their financial data with an always-on, intelligent view into the health of their chart of accounts.

This embedded advisor helps organizations better understand and manage the structure of their chart of accounts, using consistent standards and governance, and helping prevent complex issues that would require specialized services. Combining industry best practices with intelligent analysis, all rolled into an easy-to-digest health score for finance teams, the Chart of Accounts Health Advisor will be included at no additional cost for Financial Edge NXT customers.

"At Blackbaud, we believe the future of nonprofit finance is proactive, intelligent and deeply connected," said Sudip Datta, chief product officer, Blackbaud. "Finance teams shouldn't have to wait for problems to surface during audits or reporting cycles to understand where risk exists. Our focus is on building systems that continuously learn, surface what matters, and guide teams toward better decisions so organizations can trust their data, move faster and focus on advancing their missions."

The Chart of Accounts Health Advisor works by regularly scanning and analyzing accounts against Blackbaud's database of nonprofit-specific industry best practices to surface structural patterns or potential issues that could impact reporting accuracy and ease of use over time. Finance teams receive a clear health score and prioritized, actionable next-step recommendations to help them maintain a chart of accounts structure that scales effectively as their organization grows.

The Chart of Accounts Health Advisor is currently in limited availability and is being released to customers in waves to reach general availability by the end of June.
