A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Clarity, before
you begin.

Have a question specific to your church?
Let’s talk it through.

Will someone come to our church to help enter accounts?+

On-site assistance can be discussed during your enquiry. Scope, availability and visit arrangements must be agreed with your church.

Can we submit reports directly to the Marthoma Sabha?+

Prepare reports in the Mar Thoma Sabha format. Your authorised church team must review and sign off final accounts before submission; the software does not certify or submit them automatically.

How does AI help with bills and receipts?+

Upload bills and review extracted dates, amounts and suggested heads. Authorised users must check drafts before submission or posting. AI suggestions never post entries automatically.

Is Marthoma Books an accounting or a book-publishing product?+

Marthoma Books is church accounting and parish management software. “Books” refers to your financial books: receipts, payments, ledgers and statements.

Can we manage both accounts and parish records?+

The feature scope brings church accounting and family records into one workspace, including member contributions, prayer groups, registers and reports. Your demo will help you select the modules your church needs.

Do office bearers need accounting or computer expertise?+

Clear forms and searchable records help with daily work. Discuss setup, training and practical support for your office team. Financial review remains your authorised church team’s responsibility.

What about backups, access and existing records?+

Ask for a walkthrough of role-based access, backup and restore procedures, and the options for bringing in existing records. The schedule, retention and migration scope should be agreed for your church before setup.

How much does it cost?+

Request a quote for your church. Agree the modules, support, member access and integration requirements before setup.
