CenterPoint Fund Accounting
redwingsoftware.com
What it is
CenterPoint Fund Accounting is a nonprofit financial management system available as a local installation or cloud-based system. It tracks unlimited funds and grants, with departmental, custom, and budget-versus-actual variance reporting and drill-down to original entries. Its purchase-order module manages purchases and requisitions; receiving an order automatically creates an accounts-payable transaction. Integrated payroll supports employees working across multiple funds while receiving one W-2, with taxable wages reported on one Form 941. Custom reports can be exported to spreadsheets, word-processing files, and other formats. Security controls include password-protected databases, user accounts, transaction tracking, user groups, policies, and administrator-managed report-level security. Version 21 adds backup and restore for the database, file repository, and Aatrix history, plus AI-assisted invoice and receipt scanning through a mobile-friendly web app. After installation, the product runs in a 30-day demo mode until registration. Pricing is provided by sales, and a free trial is listed. Recommended specifications call for Windows 10 or higher, 64-bit, along with Microsoft .NET 8 Runtime and SQL Server 2014 or higher; SQL Server 2019 Express is included.
