Welcome to NP Ledger

NP Ledger is accounting software built for nonprofits. It keeps your books, tracks your donations, and produces the reports your board, your funders, and the IRS expect, all without asking you to be an accountant.

If you've been keeping your nonprofit's finances in a spreadsheet, NP Ledger takes over that job, and it already understands how nonprofit money works. It knows that some gifts come with strings attached (a donation for the youth program can only be spent on the youth program). It knows you have a Form 990 to file. It knows your board wants to see how much is in each fund and where program money is going. And it handles the double-entry bookkeeping in the background, so you never have to think in debits and credits.

Think of it as a bookkeeper who already knows the nonprofit rules. You tell it what happened ("I received a $500 donation for the youth program"), and it works out the accounting.

You're probably running this nonprofit alongside a dozen other responsibilities, and accounting is only one of them. NP Ledger is built so you can keep clean books without learning accounting theory:

• Quick Entry records a transaction from a plain-language description: just say what happened, like "paid $80 for office supplies."
• Donation connections record online donations automatically from Stripe, PayPal, Givebutter, and Donorbox.
• Reports produce the financial statements your board, funders, and auditor expect: the Statement of Activities, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows, and more.
• 990 Tax Filing guidance walks you through your annual IRS filing, step by step.
• AI Help is on every page to answer questions about your own numbers, in context.

A typical first week with NP Ledger looks like this:

1. Set up your organization: enter your nonprofit name, EIN, and fiscal year
2. Add your bank accounts: checking, savings, PayPal, etc.
3. Connect your donation platform: so donations record automatically
4. Record a few transactions using Quick Entry — a donation received, a bill paid
5. Check the dashboard: see your Cash Position, Fund Balances, and Recent Transactions

By the end of the week, you have a working set of books that's ready for your next board meeting.
