Operational Clarity for Executive Pastors
You run operations, not accounting. Grain Ledger gives you integrated spending visibility, department budgets, and board-ready reports without requiring you to manage the general ledger.
Challenges we hear from churches like yours
Grain Ledger is built to replace spreadsheet risk with fund accounting that scales.
Spending visibility across departments
See how each ministry is tracking against budget without chasing down expense reports from multiple department heads.
Integrations that match your stack
Planning Center for giving, Ramp for cards, Plaid for banking. Your tools talk to each other instead of generating exports you reconcile manually.
Board meetings require confidence
Pull financial summaries and drill into detail without depending on the treasurer to build a presentation every month.

Common questions
- Is Grain designed for executive pastors?
- Grain serves the whole finance team. Executive pastors benefit from budget visibility, integrated expense tracking, and board-ready reports without needing to enter transactions.
- Can I see department-level spending?
- Yes. Budgets and reports can be filtered by fund, department, and dimension so you see exactly how each ministry is performing.
- Does Grain replace our giving platform?
- No. Grain integrates with your giving platform (Planning Center today, more coming) and handles the accounting side: posting gifts to the ledger, matching donors, and generating statements.
