The transparency for fund managers and staff alike has been wonderful over the years. ----- ### "Worth the switch\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jean** | *12 February 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part of this software is it replaced the need for us to triple enter data\! I also have to say the team that assisted us with migration and training were fantastic\!\! As well, the support they offer after implementation and their online help database has made this move so worth the hard work we had to put in to get where we are today. > > **Cons**: The implementation and training process I found very challenging and there were days I thought I would never get it. However, their constant support and the extra training we arranged for to make sure we had the processes down right, made it all worth it in the end. > > Our overall experience has been extremely positive and I would not hesitate to recommend the software. ----- ### "Interacting with CommunitySuite Fund Accounting" — 4.0/5 > **Madeline** | *22 October 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy but challenging at the same time, navigating is pretty easy but functionality are challenging. Everything was not shown during the implementation and hard to discuss if was the first time use. > > **Cons**: Some of the functions could be explained better and for a non profit organization in ways to utilize the application to benefit staff for an easy workflow. Our processes are implementing new ways to use CommunitySuite Fund Accounting. ----- ### "Community Foundation recommendation" — 5.0/5 > **Tye** | *18 October 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature that our organization liked the most was the ease of use for the software. We apprecaite having the sandbox feature to "test" before submitting in the live system. > > **Cons**: The feature that our organization likes the least would be the balance swap process. Still needing further understanding of this process. > > Overall, we have had a terrific experience with this software and have no regrets at our organization for making the switch back in 2021. ----- ### "CommunitySuite is Perfect for Community Foundations" — 5.0/5 > **Sherri** | *14 October 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is exactly what we need to track our funds, donors, and operations. Tech support is always quick to respond and willing to work through problems to help us learn. > > **Cons**: The only thing I would add that would make it 100 for me as the accountant/CFO would be a payroll module. > > I am very happy with CommunitySuite. I'm a professional accountant and have worked in nonprofit accounting for 22 years. This is BY FAR the best software for fund accounting, tracking and reporting to donors and other stakeholders. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/170605/communitysuite?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/170605/communitysuite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
