FUND Nonprofit Review by WebCPA
Cougar Mountain Software has been offering accounting software for more than two decades. Its nonprofit software was one of the first products out the door, and the vendor's POS applications are highly regarded. This makes CMS Professional Fund a good choice for small and midsized NFPs that have a retail component, such as an outlet or Internet store.
Where CMS Professional Fund is particularly strong is in its ability to handle sales and inventory, an important feature for those NFPs that operate in these areas. This is largely accomplished through add-on optional modules - the POS module, and the Fund Revenue Center.
