If this feature exists, it should be more obvious to the user. If it does not yet exist, please consider adding it\! > > We are just beginning our use of FlockBase. However, we could not be more pleased with the support given to us as we set up our financial management structure. No member of our staff has an accounting background; but with the help of \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], all of our finances are now in perfect order\! Our financial workload has been greatly reduced, making our office administrator positively giddy\! Perhaps best of all, our governing board is thankful that they now receive financial reports that they can easily understand ... for the first time ... ever\! ----- ### "FlockBase works well for the small church" — 5.0/5 > **Wayne** | *29 January 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: FlockBase was affordable. It has everything we need: Membership data, Contributions, Register and Payroll plus other functions we don't use. We just installed the newest version, FlockBase 2020. I like the way it works. I especially like that you don't have to open FlackBase and FlockBase Accounting separately. Entering and changing dates has been improved. I would say the learning curve for FlockBase is moderate. Customer support is excellent. Response time is very short. They are always positive and encouraging while helping solve a problem. They explain what the problem is and teach you how to solve it. FlockBase helps us keep track of our members and our finances. > > **Cons**: Since we just installed FlockBase 2020, I'm still learning how to use it and haven't found any negative issues. Reports and printing are locked, which can sometimes be frustrating, if you want a different output. ----- ### "Revised version is a big disappointment" — 2.0/5 > **Alene** | *7 December 2019* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this software for 4 years and while it had some features that were slightly cumbersome, it was very workable and affordable. The financial report could show monthly and annual actual vs budget on a single report. I could print a membership list and include email addresses and birth dates. > > **Cons**: Flockbase recently re-designed it's software and it is a nightmare to use. The check register reads going up to the top of the screen instead of down. The check numbers are not sequential making bank statement balancing time consuming while hunting for the check you want to clear. I cannot print a check register, instead I have to print a general ledger. I cannot print a 941 report. We work offline and I usually print the report, take it home and make the EFTPS payment, then return the reoprt and receipt to the church. I now have to take a picture of the 941 report with my cell phone in order to perform the same task. I'm trying to teach another person how to use the system but cannot print a chart of accounts. I have to print a budget instead. I can still enter household and member information but cannot print out any information other than name, address \& phone number. I cannot print email addresses or birthdays, etc. The household and membership information is on one screen and I have to constantly scroll down about 3 screens to access the membership portion. After entering information, it reverts all the way back to household and I have to scroll down 3 screens again for each and every member . The new program is not user friendly by any means. It does not give us the reports we once had, there is no step by step guide to tell you if you want to find something you have to look in a completely different module. Confusing beyond belief. > > We loved the old version of Flockbase and are extremely disappointed with the new system. I will say that every time I have contacted Support they have responded promptly and were very courteous and willing to help. Unfortunately, they just don't provide what we need anymore. We take our records to an outside auditor every 3 years and the documents we need simply cannot be printed any longer. We are looking for a better solution. We need help and we need it now. ----- ### "Very good setup" — 5.0/5 > **Jana** | *26 June 2023* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the checkbook register which was familiar to me and benefited me as I was learning the other things needed to do church accounting. > > **Cons**: There was nothing I really disliked about Flockbase, we just "grew out of it", I suppose. We had the desktop version and never really transitioned when they went on the cloud as we were using EasyTithe by that time and then moved to Tithe.ly. > > The support was fantastic. Anytime I had any issues I could call or email and a response was prompt; either by phone or email. ----- ### "Small Membership Churches look for Quick Books alternative" — 5.0/5 > **Kim** | *5 March 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a church the two parts of finance that need to integrate 100% are tracking contributions and handling the day to day finances of the church. Most of the churches use Quickbooks or Quicken because they are the two leading accounting packages, and they most resemble the checkbook for non-accounting purposes. Tracking contributions is impossible in Quickbooks, unless you treat each contribution as a pledge. Flockbase easily integrates what was a three step process into a one step basis for a church. > > **Cons**: The only concern I have is in the documentation that is provided for how to use the accounting software. There is an assumption that the people using or setting up the software have an accounting background. Funds accounting is not the simplest method to use, and a more detailed explanation, particularly in the beginning on the “how-to’s” of entering beginning balances etc would be nice. The documentation on the membership module is more explanatory and easy to follow. The best solution is that so far the help desk and the accountant, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], who answered my phone call have been right on top of the request for help. > > We have not yet fully implemented the software, that is, we are still keeping duplicate financial records, but the experience has so far been superior to all other software. Real people answer the phone, real CPA’s respond to accounting questions. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/277968/flockbase?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/277968/flockbase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
