## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order of how often it's the right answer for a nonprofit:
> 
> **1. Martus** - My default first recommendation for small-to-midsize nonprofits. It was built for nonprofits, faith-based orgs, and associations specifically, and it handles the things that actually break generic FP&A tools: multi-grant payroll allocation, multi-department budgeting, and board-ready reporting. It connects to 25+ accounting systems including Sage Intacct, Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, and QuickBooks. Pricing is a flat rate with unlimited contributors (vendor-quoted around $6,650/yr), and implementation is about three weeks. ([SourceForge comparison](https://www.sourceforge.net/software/compare/Martus-vs-Sage-Intacct))
> 
> **2. Float** - The best value if you're on QuickBooks Online or Xero and your real need is a rolling 13-week cash view, not full FP&A. It pulls live bank balances, open invoices, and upcoming bills automatically, and scenario modeling is genuinely easy. At $59-$199/month it's an order of magnitude cheaper than the nonprofit-specific platforms. Caveat: it's not nonprofit-aware - no grant or fund accounting logic - and I didn't find any published no
