This week I was going to try out Aplos…until something happened.
Episode 4: GnuCash Reporting and would I recommend it?
Episode 3: Processing transactions with GnuCash for the first time
In the video, I actually try to process some deposits and payments for the first time with GnuCash. It is very different from QuickBooks Desktop or Online.
Episode 2: GnuCash is Free but is it any good?
In the process of looking for an alternative to QuickBooks for nonprofits, I’m testing out GnuCash.
What is GnuCash? It’s an open source free accounting program. That’s about all I knew before I downloaded it. Here’s my first impression after setting it up.
Episode 1: What’s wrong with QuickBooks? Is there an alternative?

Excel: Is there a formula that sums based on horizontal and vertical criteria?
In Excel, it’s pretty common to add numbers based on multiple criteria (SUMIFS). In the past, I’ve always had to work with criteria that are in row OR columns. What about if my criteria are in rows AND columns? Will SUMIFS still work? The answer is No, but I found a workaround.
How to set up your Bank Account in Planning Center to give
I’ve been using Planning Center for about two years now. This is a fantastic service for churches and ministries to connect with people and allow electronic giving.
