Nonprofit Accounting Software

Built for the people
doing the work.

You're the volunteer treasurer of a small nonprofit, church, or community club — doing the books on nights and weekends. You shouldn't need enterprise accounting software, or an accounting degree, to keep the books clean and your donors confident.

Sound familiar?

You're running a nonprofit. Not a corporation.

Most accounting software was designed for businesses — then sort of adapted for nonprofits as an afterthought. The result? A system that doesn't speak your language, charges prices you can't justify, and requires a learning curve that nobody has time for.

  • QuickBooks Nonprofit costs more per month than your entire office budget
  • Spreadsheets work… until they don't — and then the board has questions
  • Donor accountability means more than a thank-you email
  • Fund accounting is non-negotiable, and most tools treat it as an add-on
  • Your treasurer is a volunteer who already has a day job
"I became treasurer because I care about this organization — not because I know accounting. I needed something that worked the way nonprofits actually work."
— A volunteer treasurer, just like yours

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

GoodBooks is built around how small nonprofits actually operate — not how enterprise software vendors imagine they do.

Fund Accounting

Track money by fund (general, restricted, designated) the way nonprofit accounting actually works. Restricted gifts release themselves when you spend them.

1

Set up your chart of accounts

Start from a nonprofit-ready template. Add your funds, your programs, your accounts. It takes about 20 minutes.

2

Enter your transactions

Record income, expenses, and transfers. Import from a bank export or enter them directly. Either way, it's straightforward.

3

Share with your board

Run a report, export a PDF, answer a question with confidence. Your books are accurate, your donors are accounted for, and you can prove it.

Priced for Nonprofits

You shouldn't have to choose between good software and keeping the lights on.

  • One flat monthly price — no per-user fees
  • No upsells for the features you actually need
  • Free plan available for the smallest organizations
  • Nonprofit pricing that doesn't require a grant to afford
  • Cancel anytime, export your data anytime

Why GoodBooks exists

Built by a treasurer who got tired of the alternatives.

GoodBooks was built by someone who's actually sat in the treasurer's chair — handling the books for a real nonprofit, on a real volunteer schedule, with real board members asking real questions at real meetings.

The tools that exist either cost too much, work too differently from how nonprofits operate, or were clearly designed by software people who've never run a fund report in their lives.

GoodBooks is the tool that should have existed. Nonprofit accounting that speaks the right language, designed from the ground up for the people doing this work — not adapted from business software or stripped-down from enterprise tools.

It's built to be honest, approachable, and genuinely useful. Like a good treasurer.
