A Modern Nonprofit Accounting System Checklist

 

Meeting donor requirements, not to mention securing additional funding for your mission, requires that your nonprofit organization demonstrates the utmost stewardship of funds received.  Without the proper nonprofit accounting systems in place, demonstrating transparency and accountability is nearly impossible.   Essential Feat of Modern NFP Accounting System.jpg

How would you answer the following questions?

 

  • Are you able to report on program efficiency easily when speaking with a major donor?
  • Are you able to precisely quantify the impact of your programs and the scope of mission progress when communicating with key stakeholders?
  • Are you confident that your stewardship is at an optimal level?

 

Nonprofit excellence requires attention to and professional management of multiple dimensions of your organization.  Unfortunately, for many nonprofit organizations, the accounting function and nonprofit accounting software are desperately substandard.

If you believe that transparency and accountability begin with the strong foundation of sound accounting, then you understand the importance of assembling the right technology.
