Quickbooks is really good software for small businesses. I work with a lot of smaller for-profit companies and almost all of them use Quickbooks. It is very good software out of the box. My larger clients use more industry-specific packages (construction mostly) but Quickbooks is everywhere among smaller companies and most of my clients who use it are very happy with it until they outgrow it.
A quick search shows that Quickbooks even has a nonprofit edition, though it looks like it’s missing “donor management capability”, so I don’t know how important something like that would be.
If it turns out that it really is a well-known fact that there is no good software for non-profit accounting, let me know and I have my startup idea.
If you have other specific requirements, let me know and I can ask around for you.
Yeah, MIRI uses Quickbooks for bookkeeping. We use DonorTools for donor management. Trying to get them both in the same package is probably a bad idea. Other tools we use are listed here.
