Funds become workarounds
Restricted gifts get tracked in side spreadsheets, and nobody is entirely sure whether the balance is still restricted.
Our nonprofit accounting software
MissionLedger: accounting software built for funds, donors, and 990 reporting.
MissionLedger is our nonprofit accounting platform, available at missionledger.fund. It was designed for how churches, nonprofits, and associations actually work — not adapted from software built to sell products.
Why generic software falls short
For-profit accounting assumes one pool of money and one kind of customer. Your organization has neither.
When a church or nonprofit runs on software built for retail or services, the workarounds pile up: restricted funds tracked in a spreadsheet, donor records living somewhere else entirely, and a year-end scramble to translate everything into numbers a CPA can use.
Donors live outside the ledger
Giving records sit in a separate tool, so reconciling contributions to deposits becomes a monthly manual exercise.
990 prep starts from scratch
Because the chart of accounts was never mapped to Form 990 lines, filing season means rebuilding the same translation every year.
Capabilities
Everything a mission-driven finance team needs in one ledger.

Inside the software
See MissionLedger before you ever create an account.
These are real screens captured from the live product at missionledger.fund — not mockups. Fund tracking, donor activity, 990 reporting, and pricing appear exactly as your team will see them.
Software plus service
Buy the software, or hand us the whole thing.
Some clients run MissionLedger themselves with our reporting review each quarter. Others prefer Frontline to handle the monthly close entirely inside the platform. Both work — the difference is only how much you want to keep on your own plate.
Self-directed
You run MissionLedger with your own staff or volunteers. Frontline configures the funds, chart of accounts, and reports, then checks in quarterly.
Managed close
Frontline performs the monthly reconciliation, fund accounting, and reporting inside MissionLedger and delivers your board packet ready to present.
Full back office
Bookkeeping, payroll support, giving reconciliation, and 990-ready records end to end, with MissionLedger as the system of record.
Ready to see it?
Start a free MissionLedger trial, or have Frontline walk you through it first.
Either way, no credit card is required to start and there is no obligation. See the fund accounting, donor tracking, and 990 mapping in your own numbers.
