They have staff that understand the fund accounting software they support and can help when you call in. I have not found anything that was less appropriate with Capital Business Services. They offer free webinars to topics that are relevant to our not for profit organization.

Support Rating
AccountantsWorld
Needs some work. Support staff seem to be computer people, not accountants or users of the system. Their answers sometimes seem short and computer-based. Not answered in a way that says, "I have thought through this and here is what I see to do."

I find Accounting Power to have more flexibility, power, and reporting capability than QuickBooks Online with a simpler interface.

We used another provider not listed for our MIP Fund Accounting. Capital Business Services provides excellent service and does not make you wait for a solution. Our previous provider could not solve several small issues that Capital Business Services solved after switching to them.
