"When we set out to start Highmark Church I quickly realized we needed an accounting system that was simple to use and would best help us steward our finances. Aplos is the clear choice! Aplos has helped us create an accounting system that has been easy to train our team to use and given us robust reports that have helped us navigate important financial decisions."

Don C.

Lead Pastor at Highmark Church

Built for church accounting
