I loved the configurability of the NetSuite system. I hate customisations and having to go through all of the different customisations with every upgrade to make sure nothing ‘breaks’.

NetSuite Nonprofit Accounting Software benefits

Benefits Thumbnail
  • Increase financial transparency. When donations, grants, and expenses are recorded in one place, producing reports for boards, funders, and the public becomes a straightforward task.
  • Boost resource allocation. Real-time tracking of restricted and unrestricted funds supports informed decisions that reflect both financial reality and organizational priorities.
  • Strengthen stewardship. By showing stakeholders, in real time, where each dollar goes, nonprofits can strengthen relationships and inspire future support.
  • Meet compliance obligations. Audit-ready records and ready-to-use report formats help teams meet accounting standards and satisfy grantor rules with less back and forth.
  • Advance your cause. Replacing siloed systems and manual spreadsheets with cloud-based automation slashes administrative busywork, so teams can devote more energy to the mission at hand.

Challenges NetSuite Nonprofit Accounting Software solves

Challenges Thumbnail
  • Disparate systems. Rather than juggling separate tools for donors, grants, and accounting, nonprofits can manage all that information in one place and minimize error-prone, manual work.
  • Complex fund restrictions. Monitor multiple funding sources and donor restrictions to make certain that every grant dollar is used as intended.
  • Grant reporting pressure. Automate data collection and report generation to hit critical deadlines and protect funding relationships.
  • Limited visibility. With NetSuite, leaders get immediate, up-to-date insight into their nonprofits’ financial health, program progress, and fundraising results—crucial when opportunities or challenges arise.
