Accounting 5 and its previous versions are spreadsheets used extensively by Community Capacity Accounting internally. They are available for use by New Zealand not-for-profits, (without any guarantees). They were originally developed more than 20 years ago to assist a community group with their accountability to grant funders, and have since developed into a much more feature-rich option. It was specifically designed with not-for-profits in mind, which sets it apart from any other available accounting software package.
Below is a guide on how to use Accounting 5. Staff at CCA are generally happy to help if you run into any difficulties.
