ParishSOFT accounting system is the easiest I've used of all the accounting systems I've used in the past. Simple icons and drop down menus make navigating a breeze.
Pros
Posting deposits, creating bills, Journal entries, and running reports.
Cons
The only thing I can suggest is frequency of memorized transactions, to allow for bimonthly billing. Right now, the system allows for 26 week cycle.

It Beats other software such as QuickBooks, which I use at home for other purposes.

ParishSOFT provides us the opportunity to use the system to maintain the level of contributions each family make. WE are also able to manage all of events both free and paid events. The system processes may different types of contribution methods, from bank draws to credit and debit charges.
Our major issue is that ParishSOFT does not allow us to utilize it for outside events in charging for various items. We end needing to utilize outside services for these payment types. This increases our costs both administrative and another third party vendor payment.
Pros
Excellent data base for the accounting of money at a family level by payment.
The ability to create forms allowing for individuals to signup for and pay for sponsored events
Easy to set the system up to meet the needs of your organization
Cons
Capable of taking payments for outside events
Facility and logistic management function

The system fits extremely well with our non-profit requirements and provides us the capability to report to our congregation their payments to the Church. The system is set up for recurring events and not one time events.
This would not fit a for profit business very well.
