“Simplifying Non-Profit Accounting: A Look at Zoho Books”

Zoho Books is quite a useful tool for simple non-profit accounting. But its poor grant management features compelled us to work around it and use other tools in the process.

    Efficient Accounts Payable Management Requires Careful Data Entry

    Apr 16, 2026
    My experience with Zoho was positive. At the time, I worked in accounts payable, and I did some testing. It was extremely helpful in adjusting and organizing accounts payable, which was my previous area. It facilitated consultations of financial histories and some documents that needed tracking.

Reviewer Insights for: Zoho Books

Zoho Books Likes & Dislikes

Like

The user interface is exceptionally intuitive and easy to navigate. Even our new employees can pick up Zoho Books with minimal training, which is a huge plus for our team. I really appreciate how the options are clearly laid out, making the software both simple and reliable for our daily accounting operations.

Like

Zoho Books have helped to change the accounting in the non-profit organization from a quite chaotic spreadsheet to a more structured one. The program has a simple interface which allowed our team, with different levels of financial literacy, to quickly learn how to work with invoices and produce simple reports.

Like

Financial centralization: accounts/expenses/purchases and payments are concentrated in a single system. Ease of use: the interface is very user-friendly.

Automated Translation from Portuguese
Dislike

Bank feeds for some local banks can be inconsistent and sometimes require manual updates to stay synced. I also find that the advanced report customization option could be more flexible to meet specific internal business needs and finally, the mobile app, while good for basic tasks, lacks some of the deeper settings available on the desktop version.

Dislike

It became cumbersome to track grant expenditures and meet the demands of numerous and specific donor reporting requirements. It doesn't have specific tools for tracking grant budgets or creating reports that can be customized for a particular grant.

Dislike

There is a need for adjustments in more specific analysis reports; these will require customization. Remember to register everything correctly because if it is not (suppliers, cost center, etc.) registered correctly, you will lose quality control.
