From the Nov. 2009 Review of Not-for-Profit Accounting Programs.

AccuFund Accounting Suite, from AccuFund, Inc. offers a complete financial solution designed for nonprofit organizations and government entities. The latest release of AccuFund (version 3.08) offers several new features along with powerful system functionality that can be easily customized to suit the needs of various types of organizations and agencies.

EASE OF USE/FLEXIBILITY-
AccuFund’s main user interface is contained in the main application window, offering six options: File, Edit, Report, Setup, Window and Help. Directly below is a button that offers access to all system modules, with a toolbar immediately to the right that refreshes upon changing modules. AccuFund’s account number system offers a tremendous amount of flexibility with up to 256 alphanumeric characters that can be utilized. AccuFund’s data-entry screens are easily navigated, with lookup options and data calendars available throughout. AccuFund includes sample data that allows new users to become familiar with the interface, options and functionality prior to using the program in live mode with live data.

Installation should be completed by experienced personnel in order for the program to run properly. If you or your NFP clients don’t have the personnel to dedicate to this, AccuFund offers a hosted version of AccuFund Accounting Suite. This allows users to avoid software/hardware issues while enjoying the same robust product.

MODULES/SCALABILITY-
AccuFund’s core product includes a long list of modules, such as GL, AP, Cash Receipts, Bank Reconciliation, Financial Report Writer, System Security, Forms Designer, Data Imports and Exports, and Dynamic Elements. Optional modules available include AR/Inventory, Allocations, Human Resources, Payroll, Purchasing/Inventory, Requisition Management, along with a host of notable features such as direct deposit capability, credit card acceptance, EFT payment capability, and a solid user database suitable for users of all levels. AccuFund is extremely scalable, with optional modules that can be added at any time.

The Professional level of AccuFund’s Accounting Suite offers the same modules and features, but contains additional system security options and better system control. With two levels available, AccuFund allows users to scale the system to meet their immediate needs without sacrificing the features they may need in the future.
