Why do non profits need accounting software?
Non-profits need accounting software to give their finance teams accurate, up-to-date management information and real-time visibility and control of costs, revenue, issues and opportunities. This is to help drive better decision-making.

The finance team's core responsibilities range from the basics such as bookkeeping to more comprehensive detail such as providing financial information, securing investment and protecting cash flows.
Access Financials is designed with the challenges of not-for-profit charities in mind, and allows non-profit finance teams to customise their financial management system around the charity’s specific needs.
Monitor spends, donations and donors, inventory and stock, and much more — everything in just one place.
