The NewViews Approach for Non-Profit Organizations

fund For non-profit organizations, change is a way of life. Limits imposed by traditional accounting software programs can make it difficult - if not impossible - to effectively accomodate diverse sources of funding and meet highly specialized reporting requirements.

NewViews provides the flexibility, scalability and security that NPOs need to be effective in their mission while remaining fully accountable. Importantly, unlike other software designed for use by non-profits, NewViews is fully integrated in real-time - there are no separate modules to purchase.

The functionality of NewViews can be modified and expanded to reflect the changing needs of each NPO. The only decision to make is whether a single or multi-user setup is the more appropriate choice.

The configurations supported by NewViews are infinite. This unrivaled flexibility means it can be adapted to meet the needs of virtually any NPO, including (but not limited to) Charities, Education, Arts and Culture, Environment and Conservation, Human and Social Services (Housing, Health, etc.), Animal Welfare, Faith-based, Foundations and Tribal Governments.

"We now have the ability to provide our Board of Directors and funders with up to date financial details on each of our separate programs. For non-profit organizations, this is imperative for decision making and strategic planning. Our Board is please with the information they are now receiving on a regular basis. Thank you again!"

Fund Accounting

NewViews accommodates an unlimited number of funds. Each fund may be treated as a separate entity with its own general ledger and individual revenue, expense, income and balance sheet reports. NewViews enables NPOs to produce multiple balance sheets and/or consolidated balance sheets with multiple fund balances. A variety of fund accounting methods are supported:
                   • Fully restricted fund balance accounting
                   • Partially or non-restricted fund balance accounting
                   • Deferral method

There are no limits on account names (alphanumeric characters as well as select symbols) which facilitates accuracy by allowing familiar acronyms and abbreviations to be used. Integrated email also enables NPOs to transmit key documents quickly and easily.

Accounting for Native Canadian Communities

First Nations, Intuit and Métis communities across Canada have been relying on NewViews for more than 20 years. NewViews supports financial statements that conform to guidelines set out in the INAC Year End Reporting Handbook. Funds/grants can be tracked over multiple years, with full control over allocation to individual departments or projects. Reporting on diverse programs such as health, education, heritage, social services, housing, etc., is always up-to-date and available 24/7 to authorized users, allowing community leaders to make timely and effective decisions.

Customized Reporting

Reports in NewViews can be customized to meet the requirements of government and other funding agencies, Boards of Directors, management committees, project coordinators and accountants. As requirements change, reports can easily be modified without any impact on the integrity of the underlying data. All reports provide full drill-down capabililities through to transaction detail and can be generated and regenerated for any time period (including multiple fiscal years). Reports can be previewed, printed, emailed, exported to Excel or saved in PDF format.

Comprehensive Budgeting

NewViews provides extensive budgeting capabilities, including the ability to set up multiple budgets simultaneously. NPOs can easily track budgeted amounts versus actuals and report on variances for any period. Budgets can be adjusted at any time, which allows a budget to be posted on submission, and adjusted (if necessary) when approval is received. NewViews also offers the option of doing "what if" scenarios when working on budget submissions.

NewViews is flexible, scalable and secure - perfect for NPOs!

Internet aware & enabled

NewViews supports multi-location or global NPOs, and can be run as a centralized or decentralized system. Users can connect across a LAN or across the planet via the internet. Importantly, NewViews doesn't require any special proprietary server hardware or software.

Payroll

NewViews provides built-in Canadian and U.S.A. payroll and both may be used in the same set of books at the same time. NewViews payroll accommodates an unlimited number of salaried, hourly, occasional/seasonal employees, as well as unlimited earnings and deduction categories. Direct deposit and electronic filing are both available.

True Real-Time Multi-user

NewViews operates in real-time, meaning that every report is automatically and instantly updated as each transaction is entered, locally or remotely. NPOs always have instant access to current data for any period that is required. Complete transaction detail is retained indefinitely, and reports for past periods can be generated on demand.

Powerful, Flexible Security

Access to data can be completely customized in NewViews - users can be granted as much, or as little, access as they require. Given that many accounting functions for NPOs may be performed by volunteers or temporary staff, there is never any need for concern that sensitive information will fall into the hands of unauthorized personnel. Comprehensive audit trials - which cannot be tampered with - ensure best practice accountability.

Fully Integrated

Unlike many other accounting programs for NPOs, NewViews is a fully integrated solution. As the organization's needs grow or change, there are no additional modules to purchase, maintain or synchronize. This results in significant $$$ savings.

Support

Users who call for support talk to a friendly, knowledgeable person who understands the complex setups that are often used by NPOs. All members of the NewViews Support Team can confidently guide both the novice and expert user through whatever issue they need to solve.
