Fund accounting for a Presbyterian church in Grain Ledger

Challenges we hear from churches like yours

Grain Ledger is built to replace spreadsheet risk with fund accounting that scales.

  • Session and committee reporting

    Share statements of activities, fund balances, and budget variance in formats committees expect, with detail on demand.

  • Designated and restricted balances

    Track restricted and board-designated balances separately from operating cash with proper net asset presentation.

  • Stewardship of volunteer time

    Automate bank feeds and giving imports so clerks of session and treasurers spend less time on data entry and more time on oversight.
