Great functionality

We use Spotlight reporting for all our monthly management reporting and find the software extremely easy to use particularly when data is imported directly from Xero. P&L and Balance Sheet reports including graphs highlighted key metrics can be generated in a matter of minutes and circulated to interested parties.

Not ideal

The overview states: "The Spotlight suite of tools are ideal for...nonprofits..." No, it's not. There is only one page that claims to be designed for nonprofits, and it isn't even useful. All other reports are set up for for-profit businesses, and the reports are not customizable enough to produce typical reports for a nonprofit.
