We are a non-profit with a dozen schools. Each site needs petty cash and the ability to print checks -- to students (twice a month, though not always to all students -- think of it as each student's personal spending fund, and the checks are withdrawals).
Corporately, for vendors we use Great Plains Dynamics, and another system entirely for payroll.
The upshot is that we have limited purposes for which we need a uniform solution we can deploy via Citrix, since our business office staff at the schools are on terminals.
Personally, I think Quickbooks is overkill but I'm having a hard time figuring out just where our minimal need falls in the market. There's NO WAY I'm going to approve use of Quicken. Been there, back when things were smaller.
I'm dropping into this forum, oddly enough, to ask Quickbooks fans if they're aware of something with less functionality that we can use, or, heaven help me, to give me reasons why I wouldn't be insane to approve Quickbooks for our limited needs. As I understand it, with 12 sites we'd need Enterprise. Darned expensive.
TIA,
Scott
