Helpful Starting Point, But Lacks Depth
I used this guide when our nonprofit was looking to switch accounting systems. The high-level overview was genuinely useful for creating our initial shortlist. The breakdown of specialized software was the best part; it's how we discovered Aplos, which we chose for its fund accounting features. The guide is already showing its age. We found that the pricing information for two of our top contenders was inaccurate, and a key integration mentioned for another platform was no longer supported. It’s a solid resource to get a lay of the land, but you absolutely have to do your own follow-up research as the details seem to get stale quickly.
