What is church accounting software?

Church accounting software (sometimes called church financial software or church accounting programs) helps treasurers track income and expenses, often with fund accounting for restricted gifts. Best church accounting software for most congregations combines reliable donation capture, bank reconciliation, and board reports. ChurchRaise provides free online giving and statements that feed those books; our guides cover fund accounting practices and how to evaluate full GL tools.
