The tool that determines how your audit goes is your accounting system, because the audit trail, fund restrictions, and grant allocations live there.\n\n1. **Sage Intacct (Nonprofit Financials)** - my default recommendation for anything over roughly $5M in revenue or with real federal/foundation grant complexity. Dimensional accounting means you tag a transaction once (fund, grant, program, location, funder) instead of building a chart of accounts with 4,000 segments, and the grant and SEFA-support reporting holds up under auditor scrutiny. It's the one the AICPA endorsed.
