Frequently asked questions

  • What is nonprofit accounting software?

    Accounting software built for organizations that answer to funders rather than shareholders. Beyond the general ledger, it tracks restricted and unrestricted funds, reports spending against each grant or donor restriction, and produces the statements regulators and auditors expect from nonprofits and charities.

  • What is fund accounting?

    Fund accounting keeps money with different purposes and restrictions in separate accounting units, so a charity can show that a grant for one program wasn’t spent on another. It is the core difference between nonprofit accounting and commercial accounting, and it has to be built into the system rather than added through spreadsheets.

  • How is nonprofit ERP different from charity accounting software?

    Accounting software records transactions. A nonprofit ERP connects fund accounting with program and project management, grants, procurement, HR and payroll on one platform, so finance, program and people data describe the same activity. Unit4’s cloud ERP for nonprofits comes with a prebuilt nonprofit model, and Unit4 FP&A adds budgeting and scenario planning on the same data.

  • How does Unit4 support grant compliance and donor reporting?

    Every transaction carries its fund, grant and program, so expenditure against each award is visible as it happens rather than reconstructed at reporting time. Grant management covers the full lifecycle from application to close-out, and donor management links funding sources to the outcomes they paid for.
