Built for your church
Church teams handling cash offerings, small purchases and deposits.

In practice

Check one cash account and its supporting records.

Try a received offering, a cash expense and a deposit. Review the account and confirm that the offering appears as income only once.

Preserve the count and the cash movement

Keep the offering count with the amount received. Record a cash payment separately with its receipt. When cash is deposited, record the move to the bank as a transfer rather than another donation.

  • Retain the count and deposit reference.
  • Identify cash payments with their supporting documents.
  • Keep transfers separate from income and expenses.

Investigate a difference before changing the books

Compare counted cash with the cash-account record at the same cutoff. Check a missing receipt, a payment date or a duplicate entry before adjusting an amount. The example shows a manual comparison, not automatic cash verification.

  • Use the same account and cutoff for the review.
  • Keep an explanation of any difference.
  • Use the report and supporting records when handing over cash.

Before you start

Does a deposit count as another offering?

No. A deposit moves money already received from cash to the bank. Record it as a transfer so the original offering is not counted twice.

Can the software verify physical cash automatically?

The example is a manual comparison. A person counts the cash and compares it with the cash-account records; the software does not verify the physical notes and coins.

Where can we keep the count sheet and receipt?

A transaction can hold up to three supporting photos. Keep the relevant count, purchase receipt or deposit image with the corresponding entry.

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.
