A quiet, careful accounting app for the people keeping the books at small organisations. Fund tracking included — fuss, not so much.
Free during beta · No card required · Set up in two minutes
Designated giving, restricted funds, building campaigns, missions. Track every dollar to the purpose it was given for — without spreadsheets bolted on the side.
Invoices, bills, cash transactions, monthly close. Just the parts a small team actually needs — written in plain English.
Built by one person for treasurers and bookkeepers who deserved something kinder than enterprise software. Small on purpose. Still listening.
What's inside
Matthew keeps to the parts a small organisation actually uses, then quietly does the proper accounting underneath. Double-entry under the hood, plain forms on top.
Restricted, unrestricted, and permanently restricted funds — tracked as first-class buckets, not a column you remember to fill in.
On or off per org. Turn it off if you don't need it; everything else still works.
Receipts, disbursements, and transfers all live on the same simple form. The same screen handles the offering plate and the electricity bill.
One list to scan across every kind of cash movement.
Accrual side when you actually need it. Send invoices, record bills, match payments to either with applied amounts.
Pay-down tracking across multiple payments and multiple invoices.
Trial balance, balance sheet, P&L, cash flow, fund activity. Multi-period columns. Real-time from the ledger.
CSV out on every report, for the spreadsheet you'll always have to send someone.
Draft, post, void via reversing entry — never destructive. Lock individual transactions or whole periods. Every change tracked, with a diff.
Show your work to any auditor without rebuilding history.
Matthew lives in the cloud — nothing to install, update, or back up. Sign in from your desk, the kitchen table, or a phone on the train. Your books are always one tab away.
One login across every organisation you keep books for. Encrypted in transit and at rest.
Matthew is shaped by four principles we don't bend. They aren't features we add — they're the brief.
Treat every dollar with the same attention, whether it's a twenty or a hundred thousand. The smaller the books, the more each entry matters.
Tracked cash, balanced books, clean fund balances. Not busywork — it's how you actually know what's been entrusted to you.
Every transaction carries a history. Every report can be shown to a board, an auditor, or a member without re-rendering, hand-holding, or apology.
Budgets and forecasts that reflect what you're actually planning to do — not last year's numbers nudged for inflation.
I built Matthew because a treasurer I knew kept her records in a notebook and three spreadsheets. Every accounting app she tried was either too expensive, too complicated, or too eager to upsell her to a tier she'd never use.
So this one is simple on purpose. Fund tracking sits at the centre instead of being bolted on. The monthly close is a checklist, not a labyrinth. Reports look like reports — not dashboards begging to be screenshotted.
It's in beta, and free while we figure it out together. If you keep the books for a small organisation — a charity, a community group, a family business, a congregation — that would rather be cared for than upgraded, I'd be honoured if you tried it.
