Charities, trusts and other not-for-profit organisations not only have different financial reporting requirements to the commercial sector – they can also differ from each other in their needs.

Voluntary and not-for-profit organisations should not have to make do with a ‘one size fits all’ solution when they are choosing accountancy software, any more than their counterparts in the corporate and SME sector should.

PS Financials has developed award-winning charity accounting software for voluntary and not-for-profit organisations of all sizes.

Rather like schools software, non-profit accounting software must be simple and quick to use for non-accounting as well as accounting users.

Charity accounting software from PS Financials is swift and powerful enough to handle the highly specialised needs of charities and other not-for-profit organisations without being too complex for users from a non-financial background.

The main benefits of PS Financials’ charity accounting software include:

• advanced donor/funder reporting
• trustee reporting
• carbon emission reporting
• SORP, SoFa, DCMS and Audit Commission reporting
• automated partial VAT recovery
• restricted/unrestricted funds
• budget holders’ web portal.

The software also features unrivalled integration with Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge, ThankQ and other leading fundraising CRM systems.

But not all voluntary organisations need the major reporting functions that the big national and international charities use. So PS Financials has created the PSF Community Edition to meet the requirements of smaller not-for-profit organisations.

PS Financials has created prize-winningfinancial accounting , order processing, budgeting, billing, project control, consolidation and process automation software utilised by organisations across Europe, the USA, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australasia.

Its charity accounting software is used by hundreds of charities and not-for-profit organisations throughout the United Kingdom and in more than 34 countries worldwide.

Charities and not-for-profit users include the Malaria Consortium, Imperial War Museum, Fairtrade Foundation, Medecins Sans Frontieres UK, WRVS, Glyndebourne Opera, Disaster Emergency Committee and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

A spokesman for the Fairtrade Foundation said: “PS Financials has allowed us to do complicated reporting that before we couldn’t even dream about.”
