I have used it for at least 5 years, and there are still areas that I'm not sure about. Also, the reports don't always show what they are suppose to show. > > Overall, I would not recommend this system to anything other than a church. As a religous, non-profit educational facility, it doesn't really meet our needs. ----- ### "Shelby Next" — 3.0/5 > **Pier** | *29 April 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is relatively inexpensive compared to other financial accounting packages. It provides many features that are used by religious organizations. > > **Cons**: The new Shelby Next product lacks many of the previous features in Shelby V5. It is difficult to contact representatives to resolve problems. There are many bugs in the system and processes are not consistent with many other accounting software packages. The product does not seem that it was tested properly prior to rolling out to customers. There are too many workarounds that should be included in any accounting software. > > We were forced to comfort because support for our prior product was to be discontinued. It was communicated that the same functions were going to available and that was incorrect. We are still awaiting several reports and functions that are critical. ----- ### "A great product with lots of room for growth." — 4.0/5 > **Trevor** | *24 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly easy to learn and use. System makes all financials easy to track and look up reports. Also great for year end financials. Pairs great with online forms for registrations for events. > > **Cons**: Some minor glitches that never seem to get fixed. Often the support takes forever to get and sometimes don't even have a solution. > > I love the overall accessibility and the potential going forward for an amazing product if this is properly developed. ----- ### "Great All in One for Churches" — 4.0/5 > **Shawn** | *15 April 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: While it was definitely a step back from QBO, what I admired the most about Shelby is that offers so many services in one without having to bounce back and forth between various platforms. I have everything working together right there in one service. It is relatively easy to pick up and learn all the tasks you would need to know. Having the PO Management system has been one of the most cost beneficial additions to our organization. > > **Cons**: There are several features that are less than intuitive. I will say the biggest area that is lacking in Shelby is a better credit card management system. I would love to have organization users be able to submit and code their own expenses. Their often times where updates don’t get made properly because of the excessive amount of click throughout. > > Shelby is a great system for a church looking for a one stop shop for a financial system. While some of the software is cumbersome and not intuitive, it still offers everything you would need in one stop. ----- ### "SN financials nothing like V5, disappointment and cancelled after 9 months of struggling" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 May 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: \* As a church with many funds I liked the ease of creating new funds and departments. \* ease of adding GL accounts for multiple funds \* When sold we were told complete system; membership, giving, and financials. \* When we purchased we like that Ministry Brands will pick and choose from their purchases the complete solution. \* price compared to other cloud solutions for the complete solution was reasonable and very competitive. \*SaaS/monthly billing. No software purchase. > > **Cons**: As I mentioned in the best "that Ministry Brands will pick and choose from their purchases the complete solution" After trying to get this ShelbyNext Financials implemented for 9 months, SN is not the answer. \* Customer service on all of their pieces was terrible. Constantly we were in the queue for hours. Consistently we could not get into the queue. Major disappointment as V5 had good support. \* Income statement and balance sheet when exported you could not download groupings requiring long name convention and work arounds. \* There was not a complete solution as you were required to sign into different websites and you had to push data from membership to financials. If you have online giving that requires duplication and pushing into membership and then to financials. \*Downloading into XLS was just a flat file/csv; no formula's, no headers \*If multiple funds you could not consolidate the IS \& BS for downloading to excel. PDFs you could. \* downloading the chart of accounts was terrible. if you have 3 funds with 100 accounts, your reports had 300 line items. Not 100 with fund info. \* Implementation for membership was good but financials was none existent. \* GL accounts for multiple funds you were required to delete accounts in each fund if changes were made. The negatives far outweighed the few positives we saw. And the positives we saw were really promises of functionality that was not delivered. > > none ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/104924/shelbynext-financials?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/104924/shelbynext-financials) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
