Consider MoneyCounts. It was created in the 80s, absorbed and
abandoned by Intuit, later sold to Broderbund, and I have no clue
where it is now. I don't know if it's still under development, nor can
I say what level of support is available. Considering your intent and
your church's resources though, I suggest you at least investigate the
potential.

One benefit for your purpose is that it has (or had) a specific option
for non-profit accounting. The originator, Bob Parsons, was active in
his church and wrote it to permit that use. I used it for personal
finance until online banking came along and it couldn't compete along
those lines.

MoneyCounts also links to MembershipPlus, I think. That's software for
managing groups, pledges, etc. Bob intended it for the church software
market.

I have recently taken the position of treasurer for my small community
church. They software they are using is very poor. I would love to use
Money, but I am struggling with how to handle "Funds". There are many Funds
that people contribute to. Operating Fund, Building Fund, Benevolence Fund,
etc. Each fund has a running balance with income and expense accounts. Each
has it's own budgets. I have been using Money for about 12 years so I have
not kept up with the new versions and options. I have searched the internet
and this forum and have not gotten any hits on Church Funds!

Is there a way to do this!? My only other concern was payroll, but I see
the deluxe home and business version has payroll.

Thanks, Joe.
