Aplos mainstreams bill pay and keeping up with donations. Support is so helpful even if there is no way to get feedback from development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The development team is behind a curtain and I mostly hear, we can send it to development and then its up to them to decide. It doesn't help when it comes to a situation like fixed assets where we are having to hand enter everything. All there "add-ons" do not communicate smoothly with the accounting software. It makes for more manual entries which have to be then be explained everytime. I wish Aplos overall worked together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of integration and the time it saves me with reconciling expenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind with this at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We switched from Quickbooks to Aplos nearly three years ago, and we've never regretted the switch for one second. Aplos is genuinely a financial software package for Nonprofits. It fits our needs well. Using software designed specifically for a nonprofit makes a world of difference. SERO did decide to pay the extra and had Aplos move our information from QBs to Aplos. This made the implementation and integration a breeze. I use Aplos to download transactions from all accounts every day. I've asked for help on several issues, and the customer support is terrific.

Aplos has many valuable tools to make annual audits for certified financials much less time-consuming. Customizing accounts payable and receivable to track and store receipts is helpful.

Aplos makes a Finance Director approach their job using appropriate accounting rules and processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike nothing about Aplos. It suits our needs well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of running reports and seeing all my data clearly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides of Aplos is that not everyone knows about it. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aplos is a true Fund Accounting software where we are able to track our ministries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aplos is more of a donor based program as opposed to a database program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support staff have been incredibly helpful when I run into any issues or can't figure out how to do something in the platform.

For the most part the platform is easy to use and offers so much more reporting opportunities for my grants and restricted funds. And the integration features for banking and payroll are amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is definitely worth the value but as a non-profit this is a really big expense for us. And if you are not familiar with fund accounting- it can get confusing. Thankfully the support staff is knowledgable and helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whenever I have reached out to ask a question, the Aplos response is very quick and helps me find the answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have found myself struggling a few times with printing out our personalized "thank you" letters to each individual donor making it more of a group printing process but I'm sure there's a way to do it; I just need to keep looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aplos is much more nonprofit friendly than QuickBooks. It is tailored specifically for nonprofits and is especially helpful for those with bookkeepers who aren't full-time. We are a relatively small organization (few staff and no building but managing over $1M annually in donations). The Aplos staff have been incredibly helpful on multiple occasions. They also offer applicable classes each month in addition to supplying a database of previous classes. Start up was fairly straightforward. I use this product five days per week and have already recommended it to other in some nonprofit support groups I frequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's been a few glitches along the way, but we just contacted the help team and we've always been able to work it out. In addition, they are actively making upgrades and taking suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to use QuickBooks and hated it. This is so much easier to do accounting. Very straightforward, easy to see at a glance, and know what is going on. Reports are easy to come by and if you cannot figure something out support is easy to get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a checklist on setting up a system for us from the beginning. I did not initially start using bank reconciliation and now to go back and start using it is a time difficulty for me. Would be good to have a list for businesses. I am a nonprofit: 1. organize and set up chart of accounts, 2. enter beginning balances, 3. set up purposes in contributions, 4. make sure to use our bank reconciliation. One thing I have never been able to figure out how to use is the events program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software itself is easy to learn. I'm not an accountant, and it was so good to be able to learn from the Customer Relations Director how to use the various modules. I loved the concierge package which gave us a dedicated implementation trainer who also oversaw the upload of our data from our previous platform. Their team went above and beyond many times in making sure that we could use Aplos to our best advantage. We have some specific needs which the VP of Operations himself took much time in helping make a way for them to be met. The customer support has always been prompt, knowledgable and engaged whenever we have run into an issue or had a question. I have around 50 funds to keep track of, so I am using Aplos daily to stay up to date. We like having the features like depreciation, customizing reports for our needs, and bank integration, to name a few. Lastly, we like the price - it has been so worth it to change over from our previous platforms - separate CRM and bookkeeping platforms. That is the BEST part for us: Aplos is bookkeeping AND CRM all integrated together in one platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have to say that the third party partnership with the payroll platform Gusto was not at all a positive experience for us. In fact, it was quite a frustration. We have clergy and non-clergy on our payroll, and for more than one of them, Gusto could not get the payroll taxes correct for the whole nine months that we went with them. I spent many, many, ultimately futile and frustrating, hours on the phone with the Gusto support people, not all of whom really knew how their software worked. For the 1099 and W2 forms, I had to re-do many of them because they were inaccurate in spite of the fact that the monthly payroll had always been correct.

At the end of the nine months, they finally admitted to me, in writing, that their software simply could ot correctly calculate the state and local taxes for one of our clergy who lives in Pennsylvania. When I asked if they were going to improve the software so it could do so, the reply was "No." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
