Aplos Software, LLC today began offering their new competitor software exchange program, QuickBooks Buy Back. With this program, new Aplos Accounting subscribers can trade in their QuickBooks desktop software and receive a credit for Aplos Accounting, anonprofit accounting software. In addition to the special discount, Aplos Software will provide free import assistance to convert their old accounting data into their new Aplos Accounting.
According to the 2011 “Nonprofit Accounting Solution Report” by Campbell Rinker, 76 percent of the responding nonprofits that made less than one million dollars in revenue each year reported using QuickBooks for their nonprofit, including versions designed for small businesses such as QuickBooks Pro or QuickBooks Online. It is valuable to compare nonprofit accounting software features, because there can be significant differences. Nonprofits have very specific accounting needs that these small business editions don’t provide, including fund accounting, tracking designated giving, and issuing annual giving statements. Churches also often have additional unique needs to tracking finances for multiple churches, organizations or special fundraising campaigns and can benefit from a church accounting software.
“Nonprofits often invest time and money into QuickBooks, only to discover it really isn’t designed to meet their unique needs,” said Tim Goetz, CPA and co-founder of Aplos Software. “We are offering our QuickBooks Buy Back program because we don’t want their investment in their existing software to be a barrier to doing simple, accurate fund accounting for their nonprofit or church.”
Aplos Software’s QuickBooks Buy Back program addresses the special fund accounting needs of churches and nonprofits while not requiring them to lose their investment in their old software. To participate in the QuickBooks Buy Back program, organizations can visit http://www.aplossoftware.com/quickbooks-buy-back.jsp to learn more and sign up for a no obligation, 15-day free trial of Aplos Accounting. If their old desktop accounting software was purchased in the past 12 months, Aplos Software will issue a credit of $300 to be applied towards the organization’s Aplos Accounting subscription. If the software was purchased in the past 13 – 24 months, they will receive a credit of $200.
Aplos Accounting, a fund accounting software designed specifically for nonprofits to do simple, accurate fund accounting, is web-based and can be accessed anywhere, at any time online. There are no downloads required to get started or to receive software updates and data is automatically backed-up. The base fund accounting software includes fund accounting, a contact database to track vendors and donors, and professional reports and starts at $11.99 per month for one user. Pricing increases as the number of users increases. Additional Aplos Accounting apps are also available that include contribution management, budgeting, bank reconciliation and check printing. Apps range in price from $1.99 per month to $4.99 per month. Churches and nonprofits can register for a 15-day free trial of Aplos Accounting at http://www.aplossoftware.com/nonprofit-accounting-software.
