djchuang.com: input wanted for accounting church software

  • Randy Sherwood · 4 months ago
    I wasn't one of the ones that initially expressed interest, definitely am. Quickbooks has been a great accounting solution for us. However, the database part would be awesome. It would be cool if the components were stand alone (for churches who already have a system for 1 of those areas of need) or could be bundled together.

    Thank you for your interest and input. What features would you like to see in a database program?

    To be honest, we're pretty new at this stuff. We've looked at several of the available options. Cost is obviously a consideration for us as a church plant. Our parent church uses Fellowship One, and it was just overkill for us. Something web based. Simple and powerful. It would be nice if from the main database, groups could be formed for tracking small groups - allow small group leaders to login and maintain their group information. Anyway, those are my initial thoughts....

    What program are you using to do your accounting and how do you like it? Is it simple and straight forward?

    Thanks,

    Sorry, wrong post. What do you like about Quickbooks? How important are features like check printing? Are you using an online version?

    Thanks,

    We are not using an online version (I don't think). We do our own check printing now. Personally, I'm not familiar with Quickbooks, I do know that our bookkeeper is a fan though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
