Financial Management
Complete control of your financial resources 
 
Today's college and university financial resources are scarce.  Yet pressure builds every day to stretch operating budgets even farther.  Impossible?  Not if you have complete control of financial operations.  The QuickBooks accounting solution provides the control you need to make the most of your resources.  QuickBooks accounting soltions are designed with the same "efficiency" principles in mind as Edulytics.  QuickBooks is both powerful and easy-to-learn and use.

With a special edition designed for Non-for-profits, QuickBooks handles all NACUBO fund groups while permitting you to create appropriate subgroups. You have control over encumbrances and extensive budgeting features for revenues and expenses.  Other QuickBooks features include general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management and management reporting.
