Accounting Benefits

The GMS Difference

The GMS Accounting and Financial Management/Reporting System integrates all accounting activity into an entity-wide system.

Selecting the right accounting and financial reporting system is an enormous responsibility.  How do you compare systems when no two are alike? When approaches differ?  When no two organizations are the same?

GMS software was written and designed specifically for nonprofit organizations required to account for grants, contracts and activities.

GMS software is designed to handle activity accounting.  It is not a remake of a commercial accounting package or an adaptation of a job costing system. It was created and written specifically to account for grants, contracts, and activities.

  • Your organization will comply with FASB 116 and 117 (the Financial Accounting
    Standards Board requirements that all nonprofit organizations follow).
  • You will be able to account, report, and monitor budgets for multiple grants and contracts even if they have differing funding periods.
  • You will have choices on how to automatically handle important cost allocation issues – for common costs, general and administrative costs, indirect costs, fringe benefits, leave costs, and various specialized cost pools.  We provide you a variety of ways to comply with all major OMB Circulars.
  • Your organization will be easier to audit.

 

GMS clients are exclusively nonprofit and public organizations.  They range in size from two to more than 1000 employees.
