Why Aplos
Generic accounting tools aren’t built for nonprofits. They force you to piece together workarounds just to track restricted funds or report to your board. Aplos offers purpose-built, fund-based accounting so you can focus less on spreadsheets and more on your mission.
Your nonprofit’s finances are more than just transactions. They reflect the trust of your donors and the impact of your mission. Built by nonprofit experts and financial professionals, Aplos is purpose-built to help NPOs manage funds with transparency and precision.
If you’re using generic accounting systems and cobbling processes together with clunky workarounds, you’re creating risk for your nonprofit.
Nonprofits often juggle overlapping initiatives. With flexible tags, you can track projects or events without overcomplicating your chart of accounts.
Show supporters exactly how their contributions drive your mission. Build trust and encourage long-term giving.
