01 — Ledger
A real double-entry ledger.
Every transaction is a parent with one or more balanced legs (debit and credit) against a bank account or chart-of-accounts line. Legs must balance before posting. Every report — trial balance, income statement, balance sheet — ties back to source.
02 — Bank statements
Drop in any bank statement. The AI does the rest.
Upload a CSV, PDF, or Excel statement from any bank. Column layout, date format and decimals are detected automatically — no manual mapping. The AI suggests a category and matching member; a finance officer reviews before posting.
Tested across South African bank formats
Format detection is AI-driven — any CSV, PDF or Excel layout works without templates. Around 90% of transactions classify automatically; the rest are surfaced for review.
03 — Envelope budgeting
Ring-fence funds the way deacons actually need them.
Congregations rarely run on a single pot — building fund, missions, diaconal funds. Reformeer models these as envelopes: income flows in, expenses deduct, balances always visible. Each envelope reconciles against its equity line, so books and ring-fencing stay in lockstep.
04 — Online giving
Online tithes that flow straight to your church's bank account.
Per-council Paystack subaccount — Reformeer never holds your funds. Once-off (card, EFT, instant EFT, SnapScan, mobile) or recurring monthly. Every transaction reconciles against the ledger automatically. Year-end statement for every member.
05 — Migrating from a legacy system
Bring your books across in one upload.
Many congregations still run on Windows desktop accounting with annual licence fees, or on split membership/finance programs that never quite talk. Reformeer replaces both. Migration is a one-time event:
Trial balance import
Export your trial balance to CSV or Excel. Reformeer detects the column layout and creates the opening-balance journal entries.
Journal entry bulk import
Bring across historical detail: upload journal entries as CSV or Excel. Reformeer validates debit-equals-credit per entry and posts them en masse.
Member data import
Send us your member data in any format — our team handles the import into Office. No manual prep required.
06 — Audit & POPIA
Audit-ready by default.
Every transaction records its source, user and timestamps. Edits create new audit records — nothing overwritten. Tithe legs trace to the giving member. Per-council isolation, role-based access, encrypted on Google Cloud with daily backups.
07 — Cloud-native
No installation. No upgrades. Any device.
Reformeer runs in the browser. The treasurer posts a journal from a laptop on a Sunday afternoon; an elder checks the building-fund balance from a phone in a council meeting; an auditor logs in from anywhere with read-only access. No Windows-only constraint, no "update before you can open this file", no annual licence cycle. You always have the latest version.
Financial insights
