Great Product
Overall I like using Denali Fund. It allows my company to smoothly carry out our accounting processes - everything from accounts payables to generating annual W-2s.
- We use payroll, general ledger, and accounts payables modules
- They are paramount in keeping our accounting department organized
- The software is relatively easy to use and allows us to keep track of our daily accounting processes
Sometimes it's hard to correct an issue such as future dates in the Accounts Payable module
Why they chose it
"Denali Fund allowed for more functionality for my company."

Denali Fund Cost Effective for Small Municipalities
We have used Cougar Mountain for many years and Denali FUND since its inception. Cougar Mountain is very open to feedback and suggested improvements. Their customer support is terrific!
We get full functionality for our small town government office at a cost we can afford
- Lack of regional training
- Thankfully, it is very user friendly and the HELP features are effective

Complete Package
Our experience as been excellent for the start to going live.
Ease of use, software is designed to support GAAP and Accounting Standard for all companies
- More standard report for non profits would help

The Wonders of Denali
Overall my experience with Denali Fund has been exceptional! Like I stated before, it is probably the most user friendly system that I have experienced.
- This is a very easy to use system
- The product is very reasonably priced
- The integration from this system to outside electronic time keeping systems is very easy and effective and can be done without a lot of time used
- The customer service is top notch and very helpful
- They respond quickly and are very eager to explain their process and help with any problem that you may have
- Again, this is one of the easiest to learn and use systems that I have had the experience to use
The budget part of the general ledger module could be easier to enter data and set up

Fund accounting and Cougar Mtn. customer service
The thing that frustrates me the most about your program with the issues it does have is not the program. It is the customer service as it pertains to how you justify your billing me. Recently I had an issue with the payroll module and sent information in to be reviewed. This turned into a 2-hour phone call that cost me. The instructions in your help and field names is misleading. So misleading that the rep and I couldn't figure out what was going on during that 2-hour phone call. I finally figured it out and sent a follow-up email to you guys. What I got was a wasted two hours and a bill on my training hours. Not happy at all as well when it cost me to point out errors when your system has errors in it, like the new drill down report in the Audit Trail, and I get billed for it. Do not only do I get billed for something that wasn't even clear to Kevin. I get billed for pointing out calculation problems with your program. Why should I get billed for bringing things up that are incorrect in the way your program works or process errors that your staff can't point out? I am not happy with the end result of your customer service! Those who help me are great in the eagerness to help, but those who make the real customer service calls on the billing I am very disappointed in their decisions. So much so... I would warn any prospective client of yours to beware. You do not seem to be able to take ownership of your issues. You pass them on to your customers.
- I like how it allocates
- But I hate it that once in the system, the system treats every transaction in the allocation as a separate transaction instead of an allocation
- The accounting program has to be accurate and data usable
- I have found problems in your program and was told it that it was not meant to be used as an auditing tool
- My response is it should be accurate
- It is an accounting program
- On the data useful side, it is not as useful as your sales staff made it out to be for FUND accounting
- To get our billing out last month I had to sort through 40 pages of transactions and do hand calculations to meet the requirements of our fund managers
- I get to do that again this month
- Makes me wonder how this is supposed to be a program that is for FUND accounting
- Yes, your company is aware of my frustration here and the kind of reporting is needed

Denali Fund
Overall the software works well for us. I rarely have issues but when I do tech support is great and relatively quick to respond.
- The software is relatively easy to use
- It can easily accommodate very large charts of accounts
- The PR module supports all the state and federal reports with the option to file your own reports and has the availability to use the system's vendors to file the reports for you
- I use both for various reports and it's a great value
- There is no way to correct descriptions of transactions in any module if you make an error
- In the AP module, when voiding checks, the system shows the voided transaction as still being payable to that vendor
- There really isn't any support for questions that arise when creating your own customized reports
Switched From
We switched to be able to accommodate current options like direct deposit, laser printing, etc.

Good for Small Start Up Non-Profit
Our organization used the product for nearly twenty years, but has outgrown it.
- The help desk is very nice and the trainers are patient
- Dashboards, budgeting, multiple platform integrations are lacking

It has ups and downs, the remote app keeps crashing due to firewall issues. It has some processes that are overcomplicated. It doesn't interact with other websites, apps or programs.However, we managed to streamline some of the processes, and bank reconciliation is very helpful.
Bank Reconciliation and General Ledger reports and functions, easy Revenue over Expense and Audit Trail reports
Cumbersome AP process for multiple invoices to one vendor, billing to the student body, no credit card processing
Why they chose it
"We didn't have other options"

Very early in conversion process...
Once our actual conversion is complete, hopefully by the end of the calendar year, I believe our reporting to our funders will be much easier. We are hoping to do away with all or at least most of our supplemental Excel workbook processing and letting Denali Fund do its magic
- The ability to track grant funds - multiple levels in accounts, reporting etc - 30,000 foot view or in the weeds
- Our organization has federal grants, private grants, corporate sponsorships, etc
- , all with different reporting requirements and budgets
- We also have 7 locations and Denali Fund is able to track by the funding sources and locations
- We are very early in our use of the software - still converting in the middle of our fiscal year
- I'm sure we will only be using a small percentage of the software's capability in the beginning but as our organization grows, we will appreciate all of the funtionality
- The conversion process is a bit tedious
- We are going from Quickbooks Online to Denali fund and converting data is timely and a bit inefficient unless we could afford the additional support level that would be required for getting Quickbooks records into Denali
