What PDS Ledger is

PDS Ledger is accounting software for parish financial management, with tools for recording transactions, managing budgets, and preparing reports. It tracks up to eight years of account balances on a cash or accrual basis. Users can organize accounts by type, including assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, and set monthly, quarterly, or yearly budgets. Spreadsheet import and export support budget workflows. Transaction features include invoice entry, automatic check numbering, check printing and reprinting, spending alerts, and rules for transactions. Documents can be connected to transactions, vendors, income sources, fixed assets, and employees. The software includes dozens of predefined reports, while Easy Reports allows users to design reports or select fields to print or export. PDS Ledger can extract contribution totals from PDS Church Office or Formation Office and integrates with PDS Ledger/Payroll. Used within the Diocesan Financial Solution, it can share financial data electronically with a diocese. ACS Technologies describes it as helping parish offices meet IRS and FASB requirements. It is available on the web and Windows, with pricing on request.
