Aplos

"When my husband and I began our nonprofit, Off The Front, the desire to implement our vision was fueled by excitement and passion. The reality of what needed to be accomplished, though, quickly settled in when we began to come face to face with our long checklist of responsibilities. I had no idea we were about feel the weight of what individuals experience when starting a business. To be honest, I was overwhelmed, intimidated, and knew my husband would need my ability to handle our personal finances to carry over into my capacity to now manage Off The Front's finances (as if these even remotely carry the same level of responsibility). With great reluctance, I committed and was off to dive into the world of fund accounting (a term I could not even define at the time). Equal to my lack of experience in the area of accounting, was the lack of time I knew this position deserved. We purchased Aplos and I imagined the worst and assumed I would spend hours trying to learn the software and eventually get around to entering in a few transactions. Much to my surprise, because of the simplicity and intuitiveness Aplos offered, our entire accounting system was up and running within an hour. My husband's initial assumption proved itself to be true - If I could manage our checking account, I could manage our nonprofit's finances. Aplos is for people like me who have little time, minimal experience, and are in desperate need of confidence in an area requiring a great amount of responsibility."

"I had to see how good this software is for that price, so I set my own church up in it and I love it! Our church secretary loves it! No catch, just a good Christian company wanting to help churches and nonprofits."

"Aplos has allowed a small non-profit organization like us to find a tool that was very easy to set up, customize and use for our purposes. It really fit our needs well. It provides great printouts of the information that we need to share with board members or state regulatory agencies."
