Helping you serve the community and your church

Although a church is not run as a profit-making business, you still need to balance expenses with income from donations and other sources of revenue to keep the doors open. This accounting software is designed especially for churches and can be easily customized for your church size and the community services you provide.

Simple accounting for complex needs

From donations and tax receipts, to fundraising, taxes, and room rental, churches can have complex accounting requirements. Simplify your accounting by creating a Wave account and choosing your plan and add-on features based on what you need, like bank account connections, payroll services, and real-time donation updates.

Put more money back into the church

Get a big picture view of your church’s financial position with easy-to-understand graphs, charts, and dashboards. Use expense tracking and customized reports to manage accounts payable, categorize expenses, and find cost-cutting opportunities. You’ll also experience peace of mind of knowing your church’s information is backed-up and secure.

Share the financial duties

With our Pro Plan, easily add limited permissions so board members, volunteers, and other members of your congregation can use their expertise to help manage the Church’s finances. You can quickly get them up to speed to help find cost efficiencies and make the most of the church’s resources.

Make an impact on your church through efficient accounting

The important work your church does changes with the needs of your community. A flexible accounting system helps you adapt to changing circumstances so you can make a difference where it is needed most.

Ensure your church’s financial health

Our expense tracking and business reporting makes it easy for you to understand your church’s finances. You can categorize costs, and compare fundraising numbers, yearly donations, and services provided so you can find opportunities to do even more good work.

Focus on what matters

Free up your time from business and money matters so you can focus on helping the community. With the Pro Plan you can connect your bank accounts to Wave for automatic transaction reconciliation, and make it convenient for people to contribute with online donations. Wave also uses physical and digital protection to keep the church’s money safe.

Tax time responsibilities

Wave uses authentic double entry accounting software so your church expenses are accurately recorded and coded, making it easy to hand off year-end reports to your accountant at tax time. With the Pro Plan, you can  add your accountant as a limited user so they can securely access the information they need.
