As someone who does computerised finance and accounting systems for a
living; trust me, there's nothing special about charity finance in this
case!
Cheers,

I've developed a workaround for the sales tax
issue. Someone in the
forums got the same idea. Xero Support proposed a solution as well but I
think it's awkward. Support says they've got this issue on their list of
suggested improvements.

Hi all,
Awhile back we discussed accounting software on this list. Cascadia
Wikimedians decided to use Xero. I just want to post a note for the benefit
of other affiliates that for the most part I like Xero and particularly
appreciate that their end-user support seems good so far. The main
downsides are that their visual design seems to be optimized for mobile and
is less user-friendly for desktop, and it's especially mediocre for
high-resolution displays. Also, Xero handles sales tax incorrectly for the
way that state and local sales taxes work in the US; I believe that Xero is
handling sales tax in a way that is intended to be compatible with VAT,
which is quite different from how sales tax works in the US. If you're
considering using Xero, I hope that this info will be helpful to you.
Regards,
Pine
