Built for your church
Churches managing children’s programs, sponsorship projects or community outreach with separate financial reporting.

In practice

Try the records of one church project.

Create its set of books, record a received gift and a related purchase, then review the report. Use fictional records while evaluating the structure if you prefer.

Separate the records when the project needs it

A program may share church administration while needing its own opening balance, transactions and report. Use a separate set of books when its responsible team or supporters need that visibility.

  • Identify gifts received for the program.
  • Record its supplies, services and activities.
  • Keep supporting documents in the appropriate books.

Report on the program’s actual activity

Select the period and review that set of books. Share the relevant figures and documents while avoiding unnecessary personal information about children in financial descriptions.

  • Retain the purpose of each gift received.
  • Prepare the report for the program’s responsible team.
  • Check transfers when reviewing several reports together.

Before you start

Does a church project require a second subscription?

The plan includes up to five sets of books within the same church administration. One can cover church operations and another its project, each with its own transactions and report.

Is this a sponsorship organization integration?

No integration or certification is claimed. This workflow separates financial records for a church-administered program. Check any required reporting format with the organization you work with.

Does it manage child and sponsor case files?

This page covers program accounting: income, expenses, supporting documents and reports. It does not present a child-records or sponsorship case-management system.

Do I have to pay to try it?

No. The trial lasts 14 days and requires no card. At the end, you decide whether to subscribe.

Can I use it for a project or ministry?

You can separate the accounts for a building project, ministry or campus and organize its transactions and receipts.

Can we use a phone and a computer?

Yes. The same account works on the web, iPhone and Android. Start your trial here, then sign in to the app.

Does it replace an accountant?

No. It organizes records and reports for your board and accounting professional to review.
