Welcome to NP Ledger

NP Ledger is accounting software built specifically for small nonprofits. It handles fund accounting, donation tracking, compliance reporting, and more — without requiring you to be an accountant.

If you've been tracking your nonprofit's finances in a spreadsheet, NP Ledger replaces that spreadsheet with a system that understands how nonprofits actually work. It knows that donations can be restricted to specific purposes. It knows you need to file Form 990. It knows your board wants to see fund balances and program spending. And it handles the double-entry bookkeeping behind the scenes so you don't have to.

Think of it as a bookkeeper that already knows nonprofit rules — you tell it what happened ("I received a $500 donation for the youth program") and it figures out the accounting.

NP Ledger is designed for nonprofit founders and executive directors who wear many hats. You don't need to learn accounting theory to use it:

• Quick Entry lets you record transactions by describing what happened in plain language
• Donation connections automatically record online donations from Stripe, PayPal, Givebutter, and Donorbox
• Reports generate the financial statements your board, auditor, and funders expect — including Activities, Financial Position, Cash Flows, and more
• 990 Tax Filing guidance walks you through tax filing step by step
• AI Help is available on every page to answer questions about your data 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.
