Customer Rating:      Summary: Many problems some of which are glaringly bad Comment: I've been using QuickBooks nonprofit for the last year and I've got to say it is a pretty poor program overall. There are some mind-numbingly stupid things about it that make me want to rip my hair out.
First off, IT DOES NOT PRINT USEFUL DONOR RECEIPTS/GIVING SUMMARIES. There is simply no way to create an easy to use, printable donor statement that includes a mailing address and can be used in a windowed envelope. To achieve that, you will need to purchase a third party mail-merge program from "beyondtheledgers" (google it). For a $300+ piece of software SUPPOSEDLY designed for nonprofits, this is UNACCEPTABLE.
Other problems include the oh so 1990s tabbed fields. As other reviewers have noted, using this program will require constant switching between mouse and keyboard as tabbing through useless fields takes a ton of time. Even worse is that the program cannot be customized to get rid of superfluous elements or fields. You cannot permanently remove fields that you will never need, nor is there a way to create a solid set of defaults that will auto-enter the majority of your information. Manual, old school data entry is what you can expect from QB nonprofit.
This is a piece of software that is frustrating to use, is missing key, essential functions for nonprofits, and that is dated to the extreme. If you handle a large number of donations for a church or other entity, getting good giving summaries for your donors is a nightmare. I've used three different software programs for tracking donations (Church Windows, Membership Plus and QuickBooks nonprofit) and QB is the only one missing the function to print giving summaries. Also, it is the most expensive by about 3x.
If you're looking for a full suite of financial tools for a non-profit, QBs does offer a pretty comprehensive set. However, it is cumbersome to use, cannot be modified to suite user preferences, and cannot print meaningful giving summaries. Skip it unless you absolutely have to have the more detailed tools it provides. If all you do is track donations, this program is a waste of good money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Product is poor Comment: I am very disappointed with this product. It is not easy to use. The online banking feature, which is supposed to be a huge timesaver is horribly cumbersome. Sometime in the last month something changed with either my bank or quickbook and now it doesn't work. If you need any help, it requires $79 to get someone from India to sell you a maintenance plan.
I would rather find an excel template to create income statement and balance sheets than this bloated, cumbersome, unproductive waste of time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: quick books for non profit completely useless Comment: I am the head of a small non-profit with one product, a DVD which came out in September. My accountant and I sat down with QuickBooks for non-profit, prepared to set up system that would work for our situation. She is an advisor for Intuit. Three hours later, we still couldn't make it run. The only NOnprofit feature is the title. It is completely based on an industrial model of inventory, labor, etc. I finally returned it and got a refund, but that didn't include what I paid the accountant (who gave me a break, but had to be paid for her time.)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Quickbooks needs to go further for non-profits Comment: Yes, the non-profit version is better than the standard version. But how much better? I haven't decided. The terminology is still all wrong. Donors have to be labeled as "customers." You can't assign people to multiple categories. For example, if you have a vendor who also donates to the organization (very common in the non-profit world), you cannot list them in both categories under the same name. So you have list them in one category as "Jane Doe" and in the other category as "J. Doe" or "Jane S. Doe" or "Jane Doe 1." The process for accepting donations and applying them to a particular donor is far too involved. As far as I can tell, you have to make an invoice, then "receive payment" from them, then show that the payment has been deposited (and yes, you have to open up three different windows and put in the info three different times to accomplish this). That's way too many steps to go through for every single donation! I'm very tech savy and can intuitively figure out most programs (and I know Quickbooks, I've been using it in this business for the last 3 years). But for this version, I've ordered a help book. I hope it will help me address most of these issues (the program doesn't come with any manuals, and the in-program help section is 90% useless). I sense that this program should be able to do all the things it promises - like tracking donors and helping with thank you letters - but I haven't been able to use these options in a practicle way yet...
Customer Rating:      Summary: Quickbooks Premier NonProfit Edition Comment: If you are looking for software that has good dynamic reporting for your donors this is NOT it. I was able to get the same reports out of Quicken for my donors. I have to manually change each donors name to appear on the top of their report. When you have over 100 donors and need to provide them frequent donation reports, this is not efficient. I reported this to Intuit. Maybe they'll improve this feature in the future.
