## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> For most nonprofits, **Martus Solutions** or **Float** - depending on whether your real problem is budgeting-plus-forecasting or just cash visibility. Here's the full ranking.
> 
> **One thing to know up front:** almost no generic cash flow tool understands restricted vs. unrestricted funds. For a nonprofit, "we have $800K in the bank" is meaningless if $600K is restricted grant money. That's the dividing line in the list below.

> ### 1. Martus Solutions - my default recommendation
> Purpose-built for nonprofits (1,200+ orgs), and it does budgeting, reporting, personnel budgeting, and cash flow forecasting in one place. Integrates with Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, and Blackbaud, so it reads your fund structure instead of flattening it. Implementation is ~3 weeks and users are productive in the first hour. Mid-market pricing, not enterprise pricing. ([Martus on G2](https://www.g2.com/products/martus/discuss))
> 
> ### 2. Float - best if you just want to see cash
> The cleanest pure cash flow forecasting tool. Bolts onto QuickBooks Online or Xero, gives daily/weekly/monthly cash views, one-click scenario planning, and forecasts up to 3 years. $59/mo (Essential), $99/mo (Pre
