Not-for-Profit
Successful management of a not-for-profit organization is as demanding as it is detailed. Careful administration of operating expenses and cash flow, and meticulous reporting practices are essential for meeting regulatory compliance. Both are also important for demonstrating the efficient use of donated and allocated resources to secure future funding. All this can be extremely challenging when working with multiple funds and grants, each with their own set of reporting requirements.
Microsoft Dynamics™ GP (formerly Microsoft Business Solutions-Great Plains®) offers capabilities designed to help state, city, and local government agencies adhere to regulations and controls, manage grants and budgets proactively, and streamline accounting processes. You will have integrated capabilities for financial management, project accounting, human resource management, business analytics, and constituent relationship management that can help you manage complex business, financial and reporting practices to:
- Meet project, financial, and membership goals.
- Comply with government regulations.
- Ensure funding with the efficient use of donated and allocated resources.
As an expert in not-for-profit implementations, Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Sherwood Systems can help your organization maximize the value provided to beneficiaries through:
- Commitment Management-Track requisitions as commitments related to specific budgets and streamline requisition approval. Auto-generated messages warn approvers of potential overspending if transactions exceed budgets.
- Encumbrance Management-Analyze expenditures against budgets and track encumbrances at any time. Automated tracking and liquidation helps you avoid overspending.
- Fund Management-Track allocation accurately and automatically. Make reporting accessible, and define control accounts. Transfer balances between accounts easily with "self-balancing" inter-fund tools.
- Fundraising-Make smart, timely decisions, and help maintain accurate records of contacts, donors, volunteers, gifts, and receipts.
- Grant Management-Streamline transactions, monitor daily expenditures, and deliver timely reports for optimal grant performance.
