Logos Accounting Suite 

Logos Accounting is a true Fund Accounting system. It gives you the power and flexibility of a high-end accounting system with the ease of a check-writing program. With Logos Accounting, you don't have to be an accountant; we just make you look like one by making it easy to do things right!

General Ledger

Logos GL is a powerfully complete, yet simple, double-entry system that lets you quickly set up and maintain efficient financial records for your organization. Double-entry allows you to balance your books as you record both where money came from or went to (Income or Expense accounts) and where the money is retained (Checking Account). Most routines within Logos automatically update the Checking Account(s), so that you only need to identify the appropriate Income or Expense account(s).

Logos GL has enough flexibility to allow a simple transition from your current system while providing the right structure to ensure accurate accounting. Your data is always available and can be quickly displayed or printed. You will love getting the information you need in the form you need - when you need it! Save many hours of time by letting Logos rapidly do your calculations. Logos does your posting, updating and printing of reports in seconds - tasks that still take hours on many other systems! Logos GL is always neat, accurate and complete, giving easy access to full financial data.

Accounts Payable As soon as you begin using this remarkable module, you begin to significantly reduce the time spent on paying bills, keeping track of invoices and updating General Ledger accounts. Whenever you desire, you can quickly find the amounts owed any or all vendors - and the total amount owed by a specific date. You can also discover the expense status of any account, department or fund.                          Logos AP provides a variety of reports which let you see the up-to-the-minute status of vendor accounts, any overdue transactions, current and projected cash requirements, etc. Logos AP not only prints your checks, it also prints the check stubs (showing which invoices are being paid), prints the mailing address for insertion in a standard window envelope, deducts the money from the correct checking account - and creates your check register!

Payroll Logos Payroll is your answer to all the tedious tasks involved in calculating earnings and deductions, plus writing checks, recording payroll information, updating GL accounts, and providing required tax forms. Basic information on each person is entered one time, then every pay period is handled quickly and accurately. Monthly, quarterly, and annual tax information is now easy to submit including electronic filing of W-2 forms. Since payroll is often the largest expense for a church or school, efficient and reliable handling of this function is vital. Now you can easily analyze payroll costs for individuals and departments, as well as monitor earned time: vacation, sick pay, and/or personal time. And, Logos Payroll saves you both time and money compared to using a payroll service!

Accrual or Cash?

If you set Logos to Accrual accounting, Logos automatically deducts the amount of an invoice from the appropriate GL expense account(s). Logos then helps you "calendar" the payments so you will pay it on time, updating your Checking account when the check is printed. If you set Logos to Cash accounting, transactions are stored until you print the checks, then both the Expense and Checking accounts are updated.

General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Payroll are automatically included in the program; Accounts Receivable and/or Asset Manager modules can be added on at any time. 

Accounts Receivable Many non-profit organizations have a need to track revenue that is owed, to issue invoices and statements, and to process payments as they are received. This optional module can be added to Logos Accounting to provide a highly flexible and efficient system for managing all phases of your receivables. Accounts Receivable can be used to manage tuition billings and payments for a school or to track rental of facilities and properties.	Fixed Assets Asset Manager is an add-on that allows you to easily keep track of all the physical assets that your organization owns.
