Michael E. says
I need a church management system that can completely displace Shelby Systems. It has to include more than financial reporting, it has to have a full financial suite in it to deal with vendors, checks, payments, income, reconciliation, direct deposits, etc. I REALLY DISLIKE Shelby, though my Finance people love it.
