Accounting software forcharities and not-for-profits
Track every fund, grant and project in one ledger, report clearly to donors and regulators, and keep admin costs down so more goes to your cause.
Charity finance is more complex than it looks
Charities have to run lean, because every pound spent on administration is a pound that doesn't reach beneficiaries. At the same time, donors, grant-makers and regulators expect full transparency, and each of them wants the numbers cut a different way.
Add restricted funds, multiple projects, and often offices in several countries with their own currencies and rules, and spreadsheets stop coping. You need one system that keeps all of it consistent and lets you report on any of it without starting from scratch.
Infor SunSystems is a general financial management system, but its flexible analysis, multi-currency and multi-company features make it a strong fit for not-for-profits, from single UK charities to international NGOs. FinanSys implements, supports and trains teams on SunSystems so it fits the way your organisation is funded and governed.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
Built around funds, grants and projects
What SunSystems gives a not-for-profit finance team out of the box.
ANALYSIS
Analysis that fits your structure
Tag every transaction by fund, project, cost centre, donor or your own custom codes, and report on any combination without needing IT.
REPORTING
SORP-aligned reporting
Structure your ledger by restricted, unrestricted and endowment funds so you can produce the Statement of Financial Activities and fund notes your accounts need.
INTEGRATION
Connect your other systems
Bring in data from CRM, donation, membership, ticketing, payroll and banking systems instead of rekeying it.
SPEND CONTROL
Keep non-salary spend in budget
Track purchases and expenses against budget by fund and project, so overspends show up before they become a problem.
VAT
Partial exemption handled
Set up multiple VAT rates and partial exemption calculations so recoverable VAT is worked out consistently.
MULTI-ENTITY
Multi-company, multi-currency
Run several entities and currencies in one system, with separate base and reporting currencies, for branches and country offices.
GRANTS AND DONORS
Show funders exactly where their money went
Set budgets by project and grant, compare them with actuals as the year goes on, and produce donor and grant reports straight from the ledger.
With SunSystems Cloud, staff in any office work from the same live data, so programme managers and finance see the same figures at the same time.
