What it is
ACS Financials is a double-entry accounting system built for churches and nonprofit organizations. Its General Ledger keeps separate books for funds, balances transfers between funds, and produces balance sheets, income and expense statements, budget reports, and custom reports. Budgeting includes bank reconciliation, reconciliation reports, and exporting selected accounts to Microsoft Excel. Accounts Payable handles recurring and one-time invoices, check printing, 1099 forms, and vendor payments by check, online, or ACH. Accounts Receivable supports recurring and batch invoices plus customized revenue and charge items. Payroll addresses housing allowances, multiple cost centers, direct deposits, and leave tracking. The system connects with ACS Contributions and HeadMaster billing, while optional ACS Tax E-File supports online state and federal filing. ACS says the General Ledger follows GAAP and FASB standards, including nonprofit reporting requirements. Access is available through cloud-based OnDemand service or local church-network installation. Pricing is available on request, and the product runs on web and Windows.
