Bookkeeping — in pilot

Association bookkeeping that almost runs itself

Bank movements and receipts come in, Membear suggests the entry, you confirm. At year end the balance sheet, the income statement and the auditor's access are ready.

Join the waitlist

From the movement to the closing

Bookkeeping that knows club life

No accounting degree needed: income and expenses in the simple view, debit and credit for anyone who wants the detail.

You confirm instead of posting

Bank movements, receipts and member payments land in the to-do list with a ready-made entry and account. Membear learns what repeats after a few confirmations, and confident suggestions can be ticked off in one go.

Statement in, reconciliation done

Upload the account statement as a CAMT file. Membear reads the movements, matches them against open invoices and flags whatever does not add up.

Questions about club bookkeeping

What treasurers want to know before switching.

Is bookkeeping available to every club already?
Not yet. Bookkeeping is running as a pilot with selected clubs and is enabled per association. Add your club to the waitlist below and we will get back to you as soon as we switch it on for you.
Do I need accounting knowledge?
No. In the simple view you record income and expenses like a cash book, and Membear maps the entry correctly behind the scenes. Anyone who prefers debit and credit can switch to the pro view.
Can I bring my existing books over?
Yes. You can record the opening balance and import this year's existing entries from a file. Membear suggests the matching accounts as it goes.
What does the auditor see?
The auditor gets their own access, ticks off entries one by one and raises questions right on the entry. Entries are never deleted, only reversed, so the trail stays intact.
What does bookkeeping cost?
There is no extra cost for clubs taking part in the pilot. How bookkeeping fits into the plans afterwards is something we will settle together with the pilot clubs.
