For parish councils: transparency, order and continuity
A council answers for every euro and every decision. It needs a clear picture, not folders that change hands.
What makes it hard today
Spreadsheets on five laptops
Each member keeps their own version and nobody knows which is right.
Knowledge that walks away
When a warden steps down, what they knew leaves with them.
Reports by hand
Hours gathering gifts, receipts and funds.
What changes with Convivia
Reports in minutes
Donations by fund and month, ready for the meeting.
Every gift with a purpose
General fund, Philoptochos, memorials, renovation: separate and clear.
Access roles
The treasurer sees the finances; the Sunday school lead sees their children.
Continuity
When the council changes, the records stay with the parish, not on someone's laptop.
Volunteers in order
Rotas and groups without chains of phone calls.
Data responsibility
The parish is the data controller; the tool helps you live up to it.
A week with Convivia
An illustrative scenario
- Before the meeting
The treasurer exports the month's summary by fund.
- In the meeting
Everyone sees the same, up-to-date figures.
- Afterwards
Event decisions go into the schedule and the groups are notified.
- At year end
The annual report to parishioners is written from clean figures.
Questions
How many council members can have access?
The design allows several users with different roles. Details per plan will be announced with pricing.
Does it replace our accountant?
No. It gives you clean figures; for accounting obligations work with your accountant.
What happens to our data if we stop?
The goal is that a parish can export all its data at any time.
