It is a friendly user software." — 5.0/5 > **Ndikumukiza** | *23 May 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I get every report I want and I can get anywhere I am located as long as have internet. Mostly I like excellent Customer Service I receive. They re always there when we have a concern. > > **Cons**: Nothing I don't like so far. They just need to keep up with a great work and improving more as new technology evolve each moment. > > I am able to run all the report needed for my organization. Friendly user software for any church or not-for-profit organization. ----- ### "ShelbyNext Financials" — 5.0/5 > **Connie** | *9 September 2019* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shelby software is organized into modular components, Accts Payable, Gen Ledger, Payroll, Bank Mngmt \& Insurance Billing. These are stand alone modules, but work together to achieve overall outcome with good audit trails. We do not use Insurance Billing. I have worked with ShelbyNext Financials for 4 yrs \& Shelby v.5 for 8 yrs; believe it would be challenging to breach either system. Invoices post to Accts Payable module. Once posted/reviewed info sent to Check Processing where checks are issued. Chk Processing does not allow changes to be made \& can only clear entry by processing checks. Mistakes cannot be deleted must process as checks, then voided creating an audit trail for entry. Detail of transactions can be printed prior to processing into Gen Ledger. Gen Ledger does not allow changes to info (date, name, amount) from Accts Pay; must be processed as sent. Errors corrected by reversing journal entry; leaving audit trail. Accts Payable features Recurring Payments for various billing periods. Initial set up of invoices is quick \& new vendors are easy to add. Invoice \#s/amounts are quick/easy to change as needed \& provides significant time savings to check processing. 1099s are printed through Accts Payable. Payroll maintains info for next PR \& finalizes to General Ledger. Easy to run Earning reports, Federal/State taxes, W-2s \& Worker's Comp reports for WC audits. Shelby has ability to produce customized reports and all reports can be exported to Excel. > > **Cons**: Have yet to find something I do not like about Shelby software. There is a learning curve as ShelbyNext is multifaceted and takes a little time and patience to use proficiently, but is easy to learn and tech support is always available to help with problems. There are times when I have waited in que for 20 minutes for help from tech support, however understand other people are needing help as much as me; therefore, should my problem take an unusual amount of time to answer, I know tech will stay with me until my issue is resolved . Shelby techs have ability to remote in to system and see your screen which makes solving problems much easier and quicker. > > Able to process checks for monthly invoices quickly. Enables us to report PR taxes on time and with very little effort. Workers' Compensation report provides all information needed for annual audit; simply run, print and send. Custom Reports allow organization to produce information particular to our need. Creates reports that are easy to read. Cuts down on need for large financial staff. ----- ### "Poor Project Management and Lazy Programmers" — 3.0/5 > **Amy** | *24 May 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I can use the basic features such as cutting AP checks, processing payroll, entering deposits, and posting GL entries. Posting those things are pretty straight forward. > > **Cons**: There are often bugs that make it into the live software that take a long time to get fixed, they assume the customer is wrong and it takes a lot to prove to them that there software is buggy, they don't want to program for multiple browsers causing bugs that are browser-specific, and they have to release emergency patches to fix buggy software issues. Hold times for support are often ridiculous and I have fixed the problem myself on several occasions (after waiting on hold) because I know more about the software than their techs. They have a non-existent API so don't expect this software to work with anything else. Their reporting leaves much to be desired and if you need to create a custom report, be prepared to spend hours setting it up because every change or account added forces the page to reload all of the data. I'm still waiting for them to fix the printing problem they introduced 6 months ago and still trying to get them to admit that their payroll vouchers don't show data properly (despite several examples of the problem). Three years in and I regret going with ShelbyNext, but the process of moving to new software is time-consuming thus I haven't moved away from them yet. > > I will say that I like being able to access my financials online without having to host the data myself. The basic accounting functionality works most of the time allowing me to process checks, deposits, journal entries, and payroll. Their tech support people are nice enough, but if you have any complicated issues, good luck. Their software is buggy and the project manager/programmers don't seem overly concerned about sending out code that hasn't been fully tested. ----- ### "Longtime user" — 4.0/5 > **Rachel** | *19 August 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: We previously used Shelby v5 financials and so we liked that we were somewhat familiar with the brand already. We knew Shelby is an established company. We like that it is web based which makes it possible to work from home on occasion. The payroll, accounts payable, and general ledger modules seem to work well for our needs. Overall it meets our needs and because we previously used Shelby we felt it was a safe choice. > > **Cons**: Based on our experience switching from v5 to ShelbyNext, we miss certain feature that we were used to. I wish that Shelby had a better solution than Accounts Receivable for registrations (we have a preschool and other events). The "relationships" feature in Accounts Receivable needs some work. There is an online payment piece, but we stopped using it because it seemed that it needed much more development and just didn't work for us. We were also very disappointed to learn that ShelbyNext Financials does not share data with ShelbyNext membership like v5 did. This is a pain to keep addresses and other contact info updated in both systems. There is no "Globafile" equivalent in ShelbyNext Financials either, so it can be hard to look for someone if you want to see if they are in the system and update an address or something. We also have had issues with "bugs" frequently in the software that we have to work around (sometimes these bugs happen after software updates). Support is usually friendly but depending on who you get, some are definitely more knowledgeable than others. The support phone line waits can get kind of long. Last thing I would say is the built in reports frequently don't meet all our needs, I wish we had more options for pulling data. ----- ### "ShelbyNext Financials" — 4.0/5 > **Ana** | *8 September 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using ShelbyNext Financials only for a year, so I believe there are a lot still to learn; but so far I like it a lot. It's non accountant user's friendly, which help Financial Dept let the others see their updated budget information; with the setup of the correct security parameters In general all the configuration is really easy, while modifying the COA you'll be able to see the levels on the screen which it will help to setup new accounts. The option to have the reports in different formats is useful. Importing the annual budget, the credit card into ShelyNext saves a lot of time and reduce the errors. There is a lot of features that you'll be discovering as your needs appear. In my position, have access from anywhere to the accounting is awesome. > > **Cons**: The cons that I found is the exporting in excel, most used for finances; the reports include additional lines and columns that you basically have to re-format the entire report. We are coming from v.5 which was giving us the option to refresh in excel at any time the monthly balances, with ShelbyNext we have to export in excel every time an once again re-format the report. No much information for the Ad Hoc Reports, which are extremely hard to understand and use them; reports from Payroll relate to employees information only, and reports from Purchasing Management (no reporting at all) are important to us and ShelbyNext doesn't give options. We would like to be able to have consolidate Financial Reports for the different campus we have directly from the software. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2037439/shelbynext-financials?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2037439/shelbynext-financials) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
