Churches have a lot of options for offering electronic giving. If your church is using QuickBooks Online, you can receive ACH (bank to bank) donations fee-free. Is this a good option for your church?
For a long time, only the treasurer had access to the accounting program. The accounting program was usually on the oldest computer in some corner of the church where only the treasurer was brave enough. With QuickBooks Online, anyone can have access from anywhere so who should have access?
