Sage Intacct + Sage Intacct Grant Management** - my default recommendation for any nonprofit over ~$5M or with federal funding. Dimension-based fund accounting means restricted-fund and grant reporting comes out of the system instead of out of spreadsheets, and it has built-in support for FASB ASC 958, OMB Uniform Guidance, and Form 990 worksheets, plus a genuinely clean transaction-level audit trail. It's the system auditors complain about least. Needs a reseller/implementation partner, so budget for that.

Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT** - the other serious fund accounting platform: GL, projects, grants, endowments, fixed assets, AP/AR. Pick it over Intacct if you're already on Raiser's Edge/Blackbaud CRM, or if endowment and true fund accounting are the center of gravity.
