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:
