First Presbyterian Church of Orlando has been deeply rooted in the Orlando community for over 140 years and works within a larger network of churches to ensure accountability, share resources and support the ministry of the global church.
First Presbyterian Church of Orlando’s financial recording of church deposits were limited to relying on manual processes, with the imports and exports from their church management system to Sage Intacct taking two to three hours per week. There was a certain level of human intervention and data manipulation to create the imports that was error-prone and inefficient. Bank reconciliations, including reconciling credit cards and Automatic Clearing House (ACH) transactions, were very labor-intensive, forcing employees to spend 10-12 hours per month on managing four bank accounts. Realizing how much time was spent each month with antiquated, manual processes, First Presbyterian Church of Orlando decided they needed a more efficient process for their accounting of church deposits.

By doing this, we were able to have a “double-win” to cover both areas that each had very manual, time-consuming steps.
With our Church Management Systems Integration, First Presbyterian Church of Orlando was able to achieve the following:
With the help from Baker Tilly Digital, First Presbyterian Church of Orlando now has a church management system that not only transfers data efficiently but also cuts down on countless hours of unnecessary manual efforts.
