Fund EZ vs Tangicloud Fundamentals

Fund EZ is accounting software for nonprofits managing grants, restricted funds, budgets, allocations and financial reporting. Its accounting tools include a general ledger, bank reconciliation, budgeting, dashboards, accounts payable and receivable, and client billing. Reports can be organized by fund, program, grant, department or funder; users can open transactions behind reports and export results to Excel. The optional Fund EZ Pro add-on includes a user-definable chart of accounts, custom reporting, batch entry, purchasing and indirect allocations. Bank activity can connect through Plaid, while emailed invoices can include Stripe payment links. Fund EZ Fundraising is available on its own or alongside Fund EZ Accounting to organize donors, gifts and pledges. The Hosted option provides managed cloud access, backups, upgrades and access from anywhere. Permissions govern access to accounting actions, and audit trails record changes. The software runs on Windows; Version 14 requirements specify Windows 10 or 11 and .NET 4.6 or later. Pricing is by custom quote, and software support is an extra cost required for the life of the product.

Tangicloud Fundamentals adds fund and grant accounting to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for nonprofit and government organizations. It supports unlimited funds and can create due-to/due-from transactions automatically to balance them. Budget controls can warn about or prevent spending beyond planned amounts, and electronic approval rules cover journal batches, purchase and sales documents, and document lines. Grant tools track funding sources, calculate indirect cost recovery, and support reporting in a grant’s currency. The product includes nonprofit and government financial reports, with FASB/GASB reporting, as well as restricted-fund tracking, budgeting, grant tracking, and an audit trail. Tangicloud describes integrations with Excel, Outlook, Word, Teams, and Power BI, plus data integration through Excel and web services. Business Central is accessed through browsers, Windows, and mobile devices. Team Users start at $180 per user per year; Full Users cost $2,040 per year for named users. Both prices are billed annually in advance and include Microsoft hosting, database, and server licenses. There is no free plan; qualifying nonprofit discounts may apply after Microsoft approval.
