FastFund Accounting from Araize is a modular nonprofit system, and its Standard plan packs a lot into $50 per month. Araize lists fund accounting with a six-segment account number, budgeting, project tracking, FASB-compliant financial statements, bank integration, expense and revenue allocations and 990 reporting on Standard. Premium, at $110, adds accrual accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable and direct cost allocations. Payroll starts at $55 per month and allocates salaries and payroll taxes by fund, grant or program, and FastFund Raising adds a donor database from $50 per month. Very small groups can start with FastFund LT, a $300 per year bundle of accounting and fundraising capped at 250 active donors and 250 active accounts. Support, upgrades and onboarding are included, with no setup fees. The tradeoffs are a cash-basis Standard plan and paid add-ons for extra users, payables and receivables.
