“The CMS Fund Accounting Suite provides an effective balance of economy and functionality, particularly for smaller enterprises that need to be able to scale up as they grow. Where Cougar Mountain Software’s product excels, though, is in its exceptional reporting systems and its ability to easily handle nonprofit organizations that manage multiple funds — each with their own calendars, accounting, reporting structures and financial management requirements. In this arena, CMS leads the field.”
