I gather both Quickbooks and Sage have a more modular approach to
"proper" accounting software applicable to small and large businesses. I
know my mother used Quickbooks in the past with good success and the
support of her accountant, but Sage is known to be equally accessible. I
would imagine there is an appropriate version for not-for-profit or
charities, perhaps you can seek advice with the person(s) already
contacted for accounting/finance purposes?!
Our CPA (Yes, we do have one) only recommends QuickBooks, but has used a
variety of other proprietary systems (none of which he recommends at
all!).
The catch is that either Quickbooks or Sage would be a violation of the
social contract's libre-licence dependence clause.
Ledger HAS filled most of our needs thus far, but lacks in reporting and
some automation:
- I'd love to automatically generate lots of depreciation
entries, but can't yet.
- Something to anonymize private information in some entries, so that
the actual Ledgers can be published for transparency.
All of that is routine and easy with GNUcash....
