Better Decision-Making

Improve reporting compliance and timelines

You deserve an accounting system that understands restricted funding.

Accounting software built for commercial businesses doesn’t have the sub-fund capabilities nonprofits need to manage donor restrictions. Sub-fund accounting gives you detailed reporting and program-based budgeting to support your internal controls and donor-restricted spending rules.

With a fund accounting system built for nonprofits and educational institutions, you get:

  • Clear reporting that accurately tracks your restricted revenue—no extraneous spreadsheets required

  • Sub-fund capabilities to capture program, grant, and department information for improved compliance

  • Systematized internal controls and automation to save time, mitigate risk, and streamline processes
