Accounts for non-accountants is not easy - this is a fact! ParishPence has been designed to make parish accounting as straightforward as possible whilst complying with the requirements of the Charities Act.

To meet the requirements of most Churches ParishPence organises the accounts in a two tier structure. The first tier is used to match the major headings in the Annual Return and the second tier is used to match to the individual headings such as Offertory, Wages etc...

For ease of use ParishPence does not use meaningless account codes. If a lodgement is from the offertory the Offertory is selected from a pop-up list. This ensures that the data is correctly assigned to the appropriate heading.

Unlimited number of bank accounts - with funds being easily transferred from one to another using the full Journal facility. The Journal is also used to correct erroneous transactions.

Handles split transactions and double entry in a logical and straightforward way incorporating automatic checks to ensure correct data entry.

Trial balances and automatic bank reconcilliation are also featured. These allow the Treasurer to monitor the integrity of the accounts on a day to day basis if required.

A full balance sheet incorporating all bank accounts is easily produced when required.

Backup all data to standard floppy disk.

Fully automatic End of Year Routine. This function clears out the previous year's data and transfers all the closing balances to be the new opening balances. This leaves the program ready for the new year's accounts.
