1. Connect KleerCard to ParishSOFT

KleerCard connects to ParishSOFT through an API integration during onboarding. Once connected, your finance team can manage expenses in KleerCard while keeping ParishSOFT as the accounting system of record.

2. Sync your accounting data

KleerCard syncs key accounting data from ParishSOFT, including:

• Chart of accounts
• Vendor list

This helps your team code transactions correctly inside KleerCard using the same structure already established in ParishSOFT.

3. Push transactions back into ParishSOFT

Once transactions are reviewed and coded in KleerCard, they can be pushed back into ParishSOFT automatically. This reduces duplicate work, improves consistency, and shortens the monthly close process.

Does this integration support fund accounting for churches and ministries?

Yes. KleerCard and ParishSOFT support fund accounting by tying each transaction to specific funds, programs, or ministries. This structure helps church leaders manage finances responsibly, reduce reporting errors, and reflect accurate financial operations across the organization.

Can multiple staff members use KleerCard with ParishSOFT?

Absolutely. KleerCard supports multiple users, making it easy for teams to manage expenses across ministries, schools, and programs. Each transaction includes clear data, receipts, and coding, which simplifies review, reimbursements, and reporting.

What types of expenses can be tracked through the integration?

Churches can track everyday credit card expenses such as payroll-related charges, invoices, insurance payments, projects, and ministry programs. This centralized expense management helps organizations control costs, protect financial records, and stay focused on their mission rather than manual reconciliation.

Is this integration secure and compliant with church financial standards?

Yes. The integration is designed with security and compliance in mind, helping churches protect sensitive financial data and reduce errors. Clear transaction records support audits, ensure responsible financial management, and give leaders confidence in their reporting process.

Does integrating KleerCard with ParishSOFT disrupt existing workflows?

No. The solution fits into existing accounting and management software workflows without forcing churches to adopt new software. Teams gain better access to data, improved efficiency, and clearer statements while continuing to serve their congregation without disruption.

Can KleerCard work alongside other church technology solutions?

Yes. KleerCard is designed to function alongside existing technology solutions, including ParishSOFT, bank accounts, and other accounting services churches already use. Rather than replacing your systems, it adds value by helping nonprofits manage credit card data more efficiently and protect financial resources as organizations grow.

How does this integration help churches stay efficient as they grow?

As churches and ministries expand over time, managing expenses across programs, services, and business card users can become worse without clear systems in place. Integrating KleerCard with ParishSOFT helps teams stay efficient by organizing transaction details by date, function, and category, giving leaders better insight into finances that support long-term growth.

Is this integration useful for nonprofits outside the church world?

While built with churches in mind, this workflow can also benefit other nonprofits that rely on fund accounting and strong financial protection. Organizations across the country can learn from this approach, using shared technology and resources to manage expenses, increase value, and help their mission thrive over the next three years and beyond.
