Nonprofits have to show funders exactly where every dollar went, usually with a small finance team. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central gives you real accounting and reporting without the cost of an enterprise system, and eligible nonprofits can buy it at Microsoft’s nonprofit pricing. Akkomplish is a US-based Business Central partner headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, near Washington DC, where many associations and nonprofits are based.

Common problems we solve for nonprofits

  • Grant and program reporting rebuilt in spreadsheets every month.
  • No clear view of spending against each grant’s budget.
  • Approvals for purchases and expenses happen by email.
  • Entry-level accounting software has been outgrown, but enterprise systems cost too much.

What Business Central does for nonprofits

  • Dimensions: tag every transaction by program, grant, fund, department or location, and report on any of them.
  • Budgets by grant or program, with budget-versus-actual reports.
  • Approval workflows for purchases, payments and expenses.
  • US features: vendor 1099 reporting and bank reconciliation.
  • Microsoft 365: it works inside Outlook, Excel and Teams, with Power BI dashboards for your board and funders.
  • Room to grow: where you need full fund accounting, apps from Microsoft AppSource add it. We help you decide whether you need one.

Microsoft offers nonprofit pricing on Business Central licenses to eligible organizations.
