WHY DOESN’T SERVANT KEEPER MAKE ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE?
Servant Keeper makes software that helps churches care for their members (Servants – yes, that’s where the name comes from!) By staying focused on what we do best we know we can better serve you. Many churches have switched to Servant Keeper because their “all-in-one” program from another vendor ended up being a combination of poor solutions.
Most CPA’s will agree that, for security purposes, accounting information, bank information, and general ledger data should be managed separately from donor’s giving information. General ledger data includes payroll, financing, property taxes and other information to which only a few people should have access. Donor information will need to be accessed and managed by more staff and volunteers. Donors should also be given regular information regarding their giving and they need to be able to easily give online as well as review their giving as they desire. Because of these things it is highly recommended that donor data be managed separately from your accounting / ledger data.
The good news is that survey after survey have proven to us that more churches use Quickbooks(R) for accounting than any other program and they love it! When you switch to Servant Keeper for tracking donations and pledges, you will be able to keep enjoying Quickbooks or whatever accounting program you use and there will not have to be any disruption to how your accountant does your books! It’s just another one of the many reasons thousands of churches per year are switching to Servant Keeper for their church contribution software.
