The Best Church Financial Software

Remember when you became a pastor to do bookkeeping? 

No …? Hm

Surely you remember all of those QuickBooks courses you took in seminary. 

Ringing a bell now? No?

Because of course you don’t. You didn’t become a pastor to be an accountant and you didn’t attend seminary to learn about software. 

Your job – your calling – is to commit your time and energy to shepherding those God has brought through your doors and entrusted to you but often, the brunt of everyday administrative responsibilities such as bookkeeping falls squarely on your shoulders.

Scope creep is real, and churches are no exception. But the bottom line about your church’s bottom line is that its finances are important, mission-critical even, and can’t be left to chance or – worse – neglected altogether. 

Thankfully, the future is now and with it comes a bounty of tools, technologies and software at-the-ready to make our lives easier, more efficient and more organized.

Luckily for you, 2020 is the year we vowed to help our beloved clients and readers become even more productive, so we’ve got your back – with the preeminent church accounting software: Bill.com.

And before you ask: No, we’re not sponsored by Bill.com or collect any shares of sales or other compensation from them. It's just a seriously great bookkeeping software for churches – and us, for that matter. We use it to pay our bills, also.
