User Support Forum

I am a new Power Church Plus user and need some help with getting my accounts setup.

The situation is that we have multiple sites (we call them daughter churches) that are part of our church. These sites are not self-supporting and need to be treated as ministries or departments of one church. These sites have income and expenses just like the mother church, just on a smaller scale.

I would like to be able to report by site but also for the church as a whole (mother and all daughter churches). It is also useful to report on just the daughter churches and leave out the mother church from the reporting.

What is the best way to handle this?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you provide!

Set up the chart of accounts for the mother church first. All of the accounts for the mother church need to be in one accounting fund. Then, add new accounting funds for the daughter churches. When adding the new funds copy the chart of accounts from the mother church fund when prompted. This set up will allow you to run individual income and expense statements for each church, or run a consolidated income and expense statement for all the churches.
