Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a version of QuickBooks for nonprofits?

QuickBooks offers products and configurations that many nonprofits use, including QuickBooks Online, paired with a chart of accounts designed for funds, grants, programs, and restricted contributions. The best setup depends on your reporting requirements, number of programs, payroll needs, and whether you must track restrictions by donor or grant. A properly configured system is more important than the software name alone.
