DaChurchMan Financial Dashboard
The Accounting Engine

Cash Basis. Accrual Basis. Both. Properly.

Other church platforms give you an income-and-expense tracker and call it "finance." DaChurchMan gives you a complete double-entry bookkeeping system that supports both cash basis and accrual accounting — the only church management solution that does. Whether your denomination requires GAAP-compliant accrual reporting or your congregation operates on a cash basis, you get the method that fits. Switch between them or run both side by side.

  • Cash AND accrual accounting — both methods fully supported
  • Full chart of accounts — assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses
  • 14+ financial statement types — trial balance, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, cashbook, fixed asset schedule, notes to financial statements, and more
  • Fiscal year management with year-end closing and opening balances
  • Complete audit trail on every financial transaction
DaChurchMan Revenue and Giving Management
Revenue & Giving

Every Offering. Every Pledge. Accounted For.

Capture every revenue stream your church handles — tithes, offerings, pledges, welfare contributions, and dues — with detailed tracking that goes far beyond a simple deposit record. Per-head giving records, denomination analysis, and multi-payment modes (cash, cheque, mobile money, bank transfer) give your finance team complete visibility into how giving flows into the church.

  • Offerings with per-member tracking and denomination breakdown
  • Pledge management with redemption tracking and outstanding balances
  • Welfare fund — member enrollment, contributions, benefits, and delinquency tracking
  • Online giving via Paystack — automatic ledger posting, no manual entry
  • Multi-currency support with exchange gain/loss recognition
  • Dues management with rule-based eligibility and distributable income allocation

DaChurchMan Budgeting and AI Analysis
Budgeting & Intelligence

Four Budgeting Methods. AI-Powered Foresight.
