I have been using the regular version of Quickbooks Pro-I had someone 
come in and help set up the accounts for non-profit fund accounting and 
have been using them successfully for 3 years now. Our auditor comes in 
once each year but is available for questions any time. He specializes 
in nonprofit work which is a huge improvement over the person we had 
before, who had a retail orientation. We use GAAP.
I keep hoping to find more communication regarding financial procedures 
and am curious what response you get to your question. Good luck-
