Church Accounting Software – How it Can Make Your Life Easier

March 14, 2016 //  by Contributor

So, what do you do when every deadline seems to be closing on you so fast and you can’t run the payroll on time? When you can’t keep track of the budget or a proper record of the donations? Do you shrink out or tear out your hair? You do not have to do this anymore; specialized church accounting software is here to save you.

The software is built with all the accounting needs of a church taken into consideration. Proper management of a church’s finances is essential for good stewardship, and nothing does it better than a accounting software specifically designed for the financial management of a church. The software sees to it that the monetary department of worship is taken good care of. 

What church accounting software does for you:

 

  1. The general ledger
    This is the central point of the church’s accounting. The software is flexible and can be easily adjusted to fit to the church’s accounting needs. Its double entry system is built to adhere to the non-profit nature of the church either on cash or accrual basis. You will be surprised at how accurate and fast it is.

    You can track the budget and control spending with the church accounting software so that you spend on appropriate areas only. This way a recurrent failure to keep up with the budget will become a thing of the past.

  2. Accounts payable
    Church accounting software is your complete check writer and vendor manager. It saves the time which would have otherwise been used for coordination of the payment of bills. By use of the software, you can control all outgoing funds, store all vendor data, print checks and keep track of all invoices regarding all the church’s finances. Could this get any better?
  3. Payroll
    A church payroll can be complicated, but the church accounting software has already taken this into consideration. Whatever the nature of the church’s payroll, the church accounting software has got you covered. All the way from the church’s employees to pastors, house allowances and also the insurance will be taken care of by the software.

    It accommodates multiple cost centers, thereby ensuring that pay is charged to the appropriate accounts. In other words, the church accounting software is all you will need to ensure consistency and accuracy in you payroll.

  4. Purchase orders
    The church accounting software automates all the church cash-flow planning process thereby preventing you from overspending. It also makes it easy to counter check the spending history thus therefore ensuring that you do not fall off your spending plan at any given time. If by any chance the church’s expenditure goes off the rails, you can easily detect and correct it in time.
  5. Accounts receivables
    The system automatically integrates the accounts receivable and the general ledger. This ensures accurate and timely posting and to the right accounts at the same time. There are no more worries if time is an issue since you can produce batch invoices with aid of the church accounting software.
  6. Fixed assets
    The software serves as the central inventory system which enables you to easily manage all the organizations permanent equipment. It accounts for depreciation and disposing of fixed assets as well as maintenance of the equipment.

Its time! Yeah, it is time to get yourself a copy of the church accounting software. It is easy to use, accurate and fast. You will be amazed at what it can do.

There are several different choices for church accounting software, all of which have their pros and cons. Some of the available solutions are suitable for smaller churches but might not be robust enough for a larger organization. Some of them have all the power and functionality to handle the accounts of a large church, but might be prohibitively expensive for a smaller one. Some of the available accounting software could be difficult to use for someone with limited knowledge of accounting, even though it is specifically designed for use by churches. I have listed three good software solutions below, at least one of which should be suitable for your church.

  • As a general, all-in-one solution, I recommend PowerChurch Software. It is not expensive and a true all-in-one solution for managing membership, donations and accounting, but has a steep learning curve for anyone that lacks basic accounting knowledge.
  • For small churches looking for an inexpensive, user-friendly solution, I recommend, Aplos. Church Accounting Software It is very affordable and even users with no accounting knowledge at all say they find it easy to use.
  • For larger churches with a sufficient budget and staff that can handle sophisticated software, I recommend ACS Church Accounting Software.
