Other Information

The Accounting system in PowerChurch Plus was designed specifically for use in churches. While there are advanced features for those with a CPA on staff, we have done our best to allow you to maintain auditable books, while spending as little time focusing on the nitty-gritty as possible.

General Ledger.
You don’t have to have a degree in accounting, but it does help to know that PowerChurch Plus uses principles of fund accounting to balance all of your accounts and produce reliable, clear audit trails. Track restricted gifts based on FASB 117 guidelines, manage and balance all of your funds, generate month end reporting and track budgets based on the status of your current and prior years' performance.

Pay your bills on time.
Protect your church’s credit status by keeping accurate records of all invoices and payments due. PowerChurch Plus stores each vendor’s payment history, allows you to record hand-written checks, or print computer checks. Manage recurring payments like leases, insurance, mortgages and utility bills. The result is an easy way to stay on top of all of your Accounts Payable with a minimum of effort.

Manage income.
While the Contributions module tracks donations and tithes, Accounts Receivable allows you to accept payments for invoiced income, such as day care tuitions, or room rental fees. Produce Account Statements for your customers, track past due invoices, and even issue credit memos when necessary.

Payroll Simplified.
We know that working for the church is a labor of love, but those who are gainfully employed expect to be compensated! This is a cinch with PowerChurch Plus. You can plug in your specific requirements for payroll, like Social Security exemptions or pre-tax deductions, and calculate withholding amounts automatically. We’ve made it easy for you to modify the tax tables as changes are issued by the federal, state, or local governments.

What Our Customers Say...

PowerChurch Plus is a smooth running and comprehensive program, easily workable for the large or small church. With the integrated modules, the work load can be spread over more members, but still easily integrated into a cohesive accounting and membership program that provides reports for every level of interest.



This is my first experience with a fund accounting system, however I have worked for years with another system. YOU HAVE A GREAT PRODUCT! Very comprehensive, very user-friendly, very flexible!
