Profile of an

As I write this today, there are numerous people waking up to go face a computer and reluctantly “do the books” for their church or nonprofit.  Many of these individuals, if their honest, would let you in on a little secret…they are incredibly intimidated by the software they have been given to use, their inexperience in accounting is overwhelming, and the loads of questions they have just keep mounting.

Maybe some of you are not at the point of having found this type of individual to manage your fund accounting, but are in the process of looking.  You have your list of skills, competencies, and experiences needed to fill this very important and much needed position.

I am pleased to unload the mounting pressure from the individual in the position, as well as, the individual looking for a potential hire or volunteer.  I want you to meet a typical “Aplos Fund Accountant”.

Here are some characteristics of what might be expected…

1.  Limited Accounting Experience…they can balance a checkbook.

2.  Minimal time to spend entering transactions and creating reports

3.  Understands how to use a mouse and keyboard

4.  Can follow simple instructions

5.  Is easily overwhelmed with too many menu options and wants to manage very few

6.  Can categorize receipts

7.  Does not have alot of accounting experience (did I mention that one already?)

Aplos gives the individual and the employer the confidence required to manage your fund accounting needs.
