Bookkeeping software for churches
Church bookkeeping software has to be simple enough for a volunteer and clear enough for the finance committee. Adopt brings in every deposit and payment, suggests the category with the reason behind it and keeps each account reconciled.
How churches handle this today.
A volunteer does the entry. Often on a weeknight, from a stack of deposit slips.
Giving comes in many forms. Cash, checks and online gifts each reach the bank differently.
Designated gifts get mixed in. A gift for missions can end up in the general account.
Handovers lose history. When the treasurer changes, nobody knows why entries were made.
Church bookkeeping a volunteer can keep up with
Adopt prepares the work in the background. Your team reviews and approves it, and every approval stays on the record.
Connect your accounts
Link bank and card accounts, or upload statements. A statement uploaded twice is not added twice.
Suggested categories
Deposits and payments each get a suggested account from your own chart, with the reason shown.
Accept or change
Accept in bulk or one row at a time. Nothing is applied until you accept it.
Reconcile and report
Accounts reconcile to their statements, to the cent, and monthly statements are ready to review.
