I like that all Banyon programs integrate fairly seamlessly. > > **Cons**: We least like the execution errors and weird glitches, the untimely posting, and the inability for many people to utilize the same program at the same time. My least favorite function of fund accounting is the Project codes, as the information falls off after 3 years, which defeats the point of tracking a long project. > > Overall, Banyon gets the job done for the price. It has its quirks, but it sounds like other similar software's have the same quirks. Customer service can either be outstanding or unhelpful depending on who answers the phone. ----- ### "Clerks review" — 5.0/5 > **Debbie** | *20 March 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Correcting posting errors are very easy to fix. > > **Cons**: Not being able to correct a posting error if a wrong fund is chosen. > > Initial set up was pretty much left me doing it. There was very little help from Banyon. Also, the initial training was terrible. Had to teach myself which caused stress and errors. ----- ### "Review of Banyon Fund Accounting" — 3.0/5 > **Meredith** | *15 June 2023* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Banyon is affordable. It is a product that worked for us for a few years. It can be used to track multple funds, bank accounts, and locations. As an organization with 7 locations it kept track of individual location budgets/ financials, within the budget and financials of the entire organization. As a local government and a non profit, we are required to use an encumbrance system. Banyon's purchase order processing, works well. It is easy to see what has been spent off an encumbrance, The process is easy to understand. Banyon does a good job of making it clear on a check how a disbursement was coded. Purchase order reports show clearly what is encumbered within an account and can easily be cancelled or closed when needed. The ability to create lot / blanket purchase orders for dollar amounts works well. > > **Cons**: The restrictions of a locally installed software did not work well for us. With having multiple locations the updates had to be done locally and that meant travel time for our IT. Not being able to access information from outside of the office on several occasions make things more difficult. Reporting with Banyon is difficult as you are able to create a custom report but fields you may need to add may not be included in the report category, which leads to having to hand edit multiple reports in excel to create the needed report. > > Banyon Fund accounting was sufficient for us for a period of time. As we grew, we had needs to be able to outsource payroll, and access information from the cloud. Banyon was not able to provide us with solutions to these issues, so we switched to a new company. Training our employees was difficult as there was not online training offered by the company. Employees needed to be trained in house or with a manual provided by Banyon. For a small company who is looking for a locally installed software Banyon would be an affordable solution. ----- ### "City of Canton Banyon Fund Accounting" — 4.0/5 > **Anne** | *19 March 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy of use and wonderful customer support > > **Cons**: sometimes not being able to find the correct report needed ----- ### "Auidtor review" — 4.0/5 > **Roberta** | *19 March 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Numerous reports that I can provide to my council for review. > > **Cons**: There is not any training offered at any of our conferences from Banyon. Having additional training on Fund accounting would be and is crucial to this position. Having more knowledge to explain certain documents and functions to my council would be beneficial. Training numerous auditors, deputy auditors and council all at once would be more cost effective for everyone. Having a one on one session at a conference would be great. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/137989/banyon-fund-accounting?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/137989/banyon-fund-accounting) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
