Accounting for churches with schools

Church and school. Each with its own books.

Sharing an administration does not mean mixing every transaction. Keep church and school activity in separate books and prepare the financial report each operation needs.

Built for your church
Churches operating a Christian school or education ministry under the same administration.

In practice

Try a small part of both operations.

Use an account and a few transactions in each set of books. Check whether the reports explain the church’s and school’s activity clearly.

Keep transactions in the right operation

Use one set of books for the church and another for its school when both belong to the same administration. Check the selected area before recording a receipt, service or purchase.

  • Keep opening balances separate.
  • Classify spending for the appropriate operation.
  • Attach supporting documents to the matching entry.

Two reports the administration can review

Prepare each report for the same period and review them separately. Identify the origin and destination of transfers between areas before bringing figures into another presentation.

  • Review the income and expense detail.
  • Keep receipt access with authorized people.
  • Use individual accounts for the team.

Before you start

Can one plan cover a church and its school?

The plan includes up to five sets of books within the same church administration. Confirm that this matches your structure; it is not a package for five independent organizations.

Does this include enrollment, grades and academic records?

The workflow is financial. It organizes income, expenses, receipts and reports; it does not present enrollment, grades or academic record-management features.

Does the example show one automatic consolidated report?

It shows a separate report for each set of books. If you combine their figures elsewhere, review transfers between areas to avoid counting the same money twice.

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.
