Know where your church’s money stands.
Altarflow brings bank activity from Zelle, Cash App, and PayPal together with cash, checks, expenses, and funds in one reviewed financial record. It stays current as your church operates.
Let’s talk
How it works
Clarity in three steps.
Altarflow prepares the financial work as money moves. A trusted person reviews it before it reaches the books.
— 01
Connect your money.
Link your bank accounts and bring donations, expenses, transfers, receipts, and fund activity into one transaction workflow.
— 02
Agents do the work.
Altarflow prepares categories, identifies likely Zelle gifts, and matches donors and funds when the available data supports it.
— 03
You review. You approve.
Review what Altarflow prepared, correct anything that needs context, and approve with confidence. Your reports stay current as the transaction layer changes.
The reality
You already have church software.
But you're still doing this.
Sound familiar? Each tool may work. The financial picture between them does not.

This is what happens when finance is the product, not a feature. Current customers told us this work took 8–10 hours. After setup, they spend about 30 minutes a week reviewing what Altarflow prepared.

Where the money went
ONE FINANCIAL WORKFLOW
Stop rebuilding the picture. Keep it current.
Altarflow can work beside the church-management and accounting tools you already use while bringing the money workflow together.
AI WITH HUMAN APPROVAL
The work is prepared. A trusted person stays in control.
Customers report moving from 8–10 hours of financial admin to about 30 minutes of weekly review after setup.
1. Categorize
Every gift and expense, sorted.

2. Match
Turn bank activity into a giving record.
Altarflow identifies likely Zelle gifts, enriches the transaction, and suggests a donor and fund for review.
3. Learn
Smarter every correction.
Every correction teaches the agents — your funds, your donors, your rhythms. The work gets faster every month.
