Church Financials

See your church's financials more clearly with Power BI 

Do you struggle getting data and/or reports out of your financial system?
Do you spend too much time preparing monthly financial reports?
Do you need a tool that will highlight areas that need your attention without you having to look through 100's or 1000's of lines of detail?
Do you want reports that actually help you manage your church?
Do you feel there should be a better way?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, we would love to help.   With Microsoft Power BI, we can take the data from your existing financial system and convert it into meaningful, interactive, graphical reporting that you can access from anywhere, including your phone or tablet.  Visit our Sample Solutions page to see what your financial reporting could look like.  

It doesn't matter which financial system (QuickBooks, Shelby, ParishSoft, etc.) you are using.  We can bring your data into PowerBI, build a data model, and use that model to develop the reports you need to manage the business side of your church, communicate with your staff and church leadership, and give you time back to focus on your ministry.

Imagine being able to:
  • Report net income (monthly and cumulative)
  • Report revenue and expense against budget
  • Forecast where you will be at year end
  • Quickly see revenue or expense items that are off target
  • See loan principal payments in your net income (if you budget that way)
  • See how much of your cash is temporarily or permanently restricted
  • Report budget performance by ministry area
  • Allocate payroll by function to get a functional view of your total expenses

Contact Us for a no cost, no obligation consultation.   It is our passion to help churches fulfill their mission through better use of their information resources.

Like most operational systems,  church membership systems provide adequate functionality needed for day-to-day operations, but  lack user-friendly analysis capabilities.  Most systems provide standard reports and ad-hoc queries that are either difficult to use or the information is presented in a way that is not adequate for strategic decision-making

We believe churches need better information and tools to gain insight about  who they are, what they do well, and where they can improve.  Our Power BI solutions use a church's existing data sources to feed cloud-based dashboards and interactive visuals.  Power BI can extract and transform data from almost any source, including databases, reports, spreadsheets and files.  Reports and dashboards are presented in a graphical form and can be accessed online (via a secure login) or can be printed.  Because the data can be 'sliced-and-diced' using interactive graphs and selectors, each report can provide the equivalent of hundreds of 'standard report' combinations.  Decision makers have information readily available at their fingertips, and they can drill down into specific details  without requesting a different report each time a new question arises. 

Do you wish you had a simple way to monitor,  measure, and improve  your church management?  We can help. Let us help you unlock the information  stored in Fellowship One, Shelby, ParishSoft or any other church management system.  Check out our sample solutions to get an idea of what can be done.
