Church Software Update: Revamped Accounting Search with Reports (Feb 2026)
As a church treasurer or bookkeeper, your tools should work as hard as you do.
While ChurchTrac’s accounting search has always been a staple, we knew it could do more.
In our quest to revamp it for 2026, we did more than just update the interface—we inadvertently solved over half of our most-requested reporting features!
Key Takeaways: ChurchTrac has completely revamped its accounting search for 2026. You now have the ability to save searches, group transactions, add quick dates, and incorporate automations. What started as a search tool has officially evolved into a fully customizable accounting report engine.
Church Accounting Search = Powerful Reports
When searching for transactions, church treasurers are often needing those transactions for reporting purposes. These four features in the new Accounting Search do just that.
Saved Accounting Searches
Need a monthly reconciliation review? Want to quickly see how much your youth pastor has spent in the last 30 days? Create a saved search to have easy access to that info without needing to re-create your report each time.
Group By Reporting
You can now group transactions by Category, Fund, Account, and even Payee. This radically simplifies reporting tasks and opens up deeper customization options in your reporting. Knowing who needs to get a 1099 has never been easier!
Quick Date Picker
The old date picker got the job done for basic church accounting reports. We wanted to make it more robust.
Now you can generate reports for date ranges that are Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and beyond.
Accounting Automations
Want monthly ministry expense reports to go to your ministry leaders on the first Monday of the month? Need a monthly missions income summary sent to your pastor automatically?
You can create accounting automations for any accounting report on your search tool. Yes, you heard that right—Any report!
Church Software Updates To Be Continued
A special thank you to all the ministry leaders that give us all the amazing feedback and honest criticism. We may build the software, but you make it!
Let's keep building the Body of Christ!
