Endowment Sub-Accounting

Experience efficient, accurate multilevel sub-accounting for nonprofits.

With our outsourced solution, you don’t have to spend any time developing reports and get peace of mind knowing that they are accurate and clear.

4 Reasons To Work With Us:

  • You need endowment sub-accounting services that are far more accurate and efficient than using Excel to manually unitize contributions and distributions.
  • You need affordable, less labor-intensive and purpose-built software to track individual funds or gifts.
  • You need better customer support and a dedicated relationship manager.
  • You need reports that can be customized around your specific needs.
