### "Long time user - 1987" — 5.0/5

> **Jim** | *26 June 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GMS is unequaled in cost allocation, personnel reports, grant accounting for varying fiscal periods, and service. We
> 
> **Cons**: We would like to see more HR applications such as advanced personnel records and electronic timesheets, We currently import timesheets into GMS. Works well but one system would be nice.

### "GNS.Me" — 4.0/5

> **Bambo** | *21 April 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The flat reports for the bank reconciliations- the wizard tools available to make adjustments- the reports like trial balance, BVA and creditor Balance.
> 
> **Cons**: GMS was at a point of time very slow and we suspected the volume of transactions could affect the speed of the system
> 
> I have used GMS to manage a grant Porte folio and it gives perfect overview of the trip balance report - the BVA - and the creditor balance which can give you vendor l/ employee report and balance. The trial balance is a key element to prepare the IFRS.
