Anyone who can recommend a reliable web based accounting software for charity? We are looking for web based solution as charity will have more than one office and ideally would like all offices to post enter their accounts directly into one system. Any recommendations?

PaperLess for Charity
HI
As an accountant you could consider the PaperLess Accountant Programme which would enable you to provide this solution to your charity client:
Upload documents from multiple sites via the InternetCreate accounting transactions from the documentUse approval workflow to approve purchase invoices if requiredPost transactions to accountsView documents and transactions together
The Charity could also use PaperLess Business if they run their own accounts system currently which would enable them to have the same functionality without having to change accounting system.
This way the charity could manage their documents, their business processes and have a solution which works across multiple branches using the Internet.
You can compare all PaperLess products using this link.
Hope that helps

XERO
Hi
It depends on the complexity of the accounting but XERO has "tracking" that could enable you to account for various funds. They have a charity format in NZ I think but not the UK yet, have a look at this thread worth an email to them to see if any charities are using them, because it's very good sooftware.
