Many churches keep their accounts in a notebook or a spreadsheet, and most of the work falls on one faithful treasurer. Church Accounting gives that work a proper home: collections recorded as they are counted, payments asked for and approved in the open, and the statements a church council and its auditors expect, ready whenever they are asked for.
A church’s money is the congregation’s
So every pesewa is recorded, every payment is approved by someone other than the person who asked, and nothing is ever erased: a mistake is reversed, and both stay in the books.
Proper books, in a treasurer’s words
Behind the screens are double-entry books, by fund and department, as an accountant would keep them. On the screens are collections, offerings, vouchers and funds.
Each church on its own
Every church keeps its own books, with its own people and roles. Nothing is shared between churches, and the people who run the platform never see a church’s accounts.
Statements that are ready
Income and expenditure by fund, financial position, receipts and payments, cash flows, budget against actual: computed from the books every time, printed for the council and the auditors.
