Australian non-profit organisations do a great job helping those in need across multiple different sectors. Non-profits help to give to those in need by redistributing government funding, private sector donations and funds from various fundraising and commercial activities. Non-profit organisations operate across multiple different sectors of the economy and each organisation tends to focus on a different section of the public – requiring funding and assistance for different reasons.
No matter what the end cause, there is a commonality with regards to the compliance, reporting, financial and commercial management associated with non-profit companies. Most non-profit organisations want the following functionality from their non-profit software provider:
Accounts payable automation
Grant management
Expense management
Cost centre reporting
Project accounting
Fixed asset management
Workflow
Integration to CRM
KPI’s, reporting and analytics
Purchase order approvals
Budgeting and forecasting
GL Dimensional Analysis
*Certain solutions offered are 3rd party (integrated to Sage Intacct).
Want to know how you can Leverage cloud-based NFP Software solutions from Sage to better manage your non-profit organisation – talk to a Leverage Technologies non-profit software expert today.
Non-profits need to streamline systems and provide automation so that full-time and volunteer team members can have access to relevant information for decision-making. Importantly, non-profit organisations are accountable to government bodies and donors. These donors and government bodies want total transparency and accountability with regards to where and how funding is allocated. Future funding often relies on your ability to easily show where and how previous funding was spent.
Non-profit based organisations that can benefit from Sage Intacct non-profit (NFP) software:
Faith-based organisations
Community services non-profits
Membership based organisations
Non-profit educational organisations
Healthcare non-profits
Arts and culture non-profits
Environmental non-profits
Animal charities
Non-profit organisations want to maximise the amount of money that is given to the relevant cause that the non-profit is supporting – putting funding, time and effort into the hands of those that need it most is what makes non-profit organisations who they are. As a result of this, non-profit organisations need to minimise the amount of money and time spent on admin – whilst retaining full accountability and transparency. This can be a tough juggling act – minimise the spend on admin, maximise the accountability to ensure no issues with transparency.
The challenge is that most non-profit organisations are trying to use financial management software that is not well suited to the specific requirements of non-profit organisations. Trying to bend, twist and shape software that is not designed for the core functional requirements of a non-profit simply adds cost to the admin department. Sage Intacct has been built with a cloud-first strategy specifically for NFP financial management and has been pre-configured for non-profit organisations. Sage Intacct software for non-profit has all of the functionality you expect from Sage, a leader in NFP ERP / non-profit financial software.
