What Vestry is

Vestry is web-based fund-accounting software for churches and charities. Its fund accounting keeps each fund balanced, helping restricted money remain assigned to its intended purpose. Giving entries can be entered in keyboard-first batches with envelope numbers, and the service generates official donation receipts at year end. Banking tools include reconciliation, balance sheets, fund-based income statements, budget-versus-actual reports, trial balances, and a general ledger. Payroll runs can post directly to the ledger, while Plus adds staff records and roles. Posted entries remain permanent; corrections use void and reverse, closed periods lock, and numbering has no gaps. Plans include unlimited users, with Starter at C$390 a year, Standard at C$890 a year, and Plus at C$1,790 a year. A free setup period and trial are available without a card.
