GLAD by MinistrySaaS
Church Accounting

Real books. Not a spreadsheet with a steeple.

Journal entries that must balance, bank reconciliation, budget-vs-actual, payroll runs with pay stubs, and per-fund giving ledgers — in the same platform that already runs your people and giving.

True double-entry ledger Bank reconciliation built in Annual tax receipts

Everything the treasurer actually needs

Not a giving tracker with a reports tab — a real ledger with the discipline your board and your accountant expect.

A true double-entry ledger

Journal entries post only when debits equal credits — the ledger enforces it. A hierarchical chart of accounts is seeded at onboarding, and a trial balance is always one click away.

Per-fund giving ledgers and fund reporting

Every fund keeps its own running balance and audit trail. Donations post to the fund's own journal, and per-fund reports show exactly where designated money stands.

Bank reconciliation

Import your bank statement as CSV — major bank export formats supported — and GLAD auto-matches lines to posted entries, so month-end takes minutes instead of evenings.

Budgets that talk back

Set budgets by account, watch budget-vs-actual in real time, see the run-rate forecast, and get alerts when a line crosses its threshold — before the overspend, not after.

Payroll runs and pay stubs

Run payroll with per-employee PDF pay stubs, and every run posts its journal entries automatically. It's a straightforward gross-and-deductions model — your bookkeeper keeps handling tax remittance.

Annual giving statements and tax receipts

Numbered annual PDF receipts per donor with a per-fund breakdown — and members download their own from the portal. For Canadian churches, receipts are CRA-compliant.

Giving and the books, one plan

Most churches run giving in one product and the books in another — two bills, and a monthly export in between. In GLAD, donations post straight into the ledger they belong in, and both come with the plan.

Frequently asked questions

GLAD gives every giving fund its own running ledger — every donation posts to the fund's journal, so each fund has a real balance and audit trail, with per-fund reporting and receipts. The general ledger itself is a standard double-entry chart of accounts; if your auditor requires GAAP nonprofit fund accounting with fund-level balance sheets, GLAD's ledgers export cleanly to your accountant's tools.
