Nonprofit software and financial management FAQs

Nonprofits must adhere to the fund-accounting standards set forth by their governing authorities (for example : FASB in the USA).  Sage offers fund accounting software (which we also refer to as "nonprofit accounting software"), which is a financial management solution designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. It helps nonprofits manage their finances, track donations, and generate reports to ensure compliance with regulations and transparency to donors.

Nonprofit and charity management software can help you cut down on admin by automating many of the routine tasks associated with managing the finances of a nonprofit organization. This includes tasks such as tracking donations, managing donor information, generating financial reports, and more. By automating these tasks, you can save time and focus on other important aspects of running your organization.

Depending on your software, you may need to work with a professional services team to help you implement your software.

When choosing the best accounting software for your nonprofit organization, there are several factors to consider. These include the size and complexity of your organization, the features and functionality you need, the cost of the software, and the level of support and training provided by the vendor. It's a good idea to research and compare several different options before making a decision.

Sage offers two main accounting software options for nonprofits : Sage 50 and Sage Intacct. Sage 50 is a reliable cloud-connected ERP solution for startups and smaller nonprofits. It is easy to use, modern, and trustworthy, enabling businesses to work efficiently, compliantly, and mobile.

Sage Intacct is a cloud-based financial management software designed for small to medium size nonprofits. It offers more advanced nonprofit features including fund accounting, nonprofit revenue recognition, grant management, spend management, and multi-entity consolidations.
