We keep $0 of every gift

No platform cut, ever

Year-end statements in one click

IRS-ready, in seconds

No accounting degree required

Plain language, always

Worried you'll mess up the church's money? You won't.

Vestrybooks is built so a volunteer can't go wrong.

See every fund at a glance

Building, Missions, General — always know what's where and what's set aside, across every bank account and credit card.

Nothing posts wrong

Double-entry happens invisibly, so the books always balance — exactly what an auditor wants.

A permanent record

Every change is logged in plain English and can't be quietly edited. You're covered.

How it works

Church accounting that does the hard parts for you.

Pick a fund. We do the accounting.

No debits. No journal entries. Real fund accounting happens behind the scenes — all of what an auditor wants, none of what scares you.

Free online giving. We keep $0.

Gifts go straight to your church — you pay only the card processor's fee, nothing to us.

On $50,000 of annual giving, that's roughly $1,700 kept in your ministry, not ours.

Questions treasurers ask

I'm not an accountant — can I really do this?

Yes. You pick a fund from a dropdown and record money in or out in plain language. Real double-entry fund accounting happens behind the scenes — you never see a debit or a journal entry.

What happens at tax time?

One click. The January Button generates an IRS-ready year-end giving statement for every donor and emails them — the thing that used to eat your January is now a button.

Is online giving really free?

We take $0 of every gift — no platform cut, ever. Donations go straight to your church; you pay only the card processor's standard fee. We earn from the subscription, never from your offering plate.

Is it safe, and can the board see it?

Yes. Per-person logins, board view-only access, an unchangeable history of every change, encryption, and automatic backups. Your data is yours — export it anytime.

How much does it cost?

Free forever for the basics. Core is $25/mo and Plus is $39/mo — and your price is locked for life. Start with 30 days of full access, no credit card.

Can we use Vestrybooks outside the United States?

Yes. Pick your country and currency when you sign up and your books are kept in your own money — rand, naira, pounds, cedi and more. We only ask for the paperwork your country actually uses, so a church outside the US is never asked for an EIN or handed a statement quoting US tax law. Two honest limits: online card giving runs where our payment provider operates, and the live bank feed reaches US banks only — everywhere else you import a statement from your bank, and matching works exactly the same.

Stop worrying about the church's money.

Start your free 30 days — no credit card, no risk.
