Accounting software helps businesses record and keep track of their day-to-day financial transactions. But, many nonprofit organizations cobble together accounting, donor management, and payroll services by using multiple programs. This can make things confusing during end-of-year reporting. Software can help simplify and streamline these tasks, ensuring that financial records are in order and reporting standards are met.Â
To help you find the right accounting software for your organization, we researched 20 different accounting programs and evaluated them based on their features, cost (particularly the transparency of cost information), and usability. We also looked at customer reviews on Capterra, a leading software review provider.Â
