WHO IT IS FOR • Associations, clubs, volunteer groups and small nonprofits. • Parishes, missions and religious communities. • Parent committees, student groups, sports teams. • Housing communities and shared flats. • Families keeping a household budget. • Trips and events with a common fund. BOOKS AND WALLETS • Multiple books: group, household, parish, project. • Cash, bank accounts and funds, with balances always up to date. • Transfers between wallets and balance checks. • Reimbursements for people who advanced money. ENTRIES • Categories and subcategories with colors. • Pass-through money: collections or fees you gather and hand on (for example, to the diocese) without inflating your income and expenses. • Search by text and by amount; filter by month, year or date range. • Audit: mark entries as checked or to be checked. INVOICES (ECUADOR SRI) • Import the list of received documents or the XML files. • The app suggests the matching expense for each invoice. • Invoice details: what was bought, quantities and VAT. • Scan invoices and receipts with the camera. TEAM • Share a book with the treasurer, secretary, council or family. • Roles and permissions: who records, who approves, who only views. • Deletions are approved by the admin; every change is kept in the history.
