Everything a treasurer does, in one place
HookBooks was built to run the books for a real ministry, then opened to other organizations. No add-ons to buy and no accounting degree needed.
Bank in, books balanced
Upload your bank's statement file. HookBooks matches what it can, remembers how you coded last time, and shows anything left to review.
Donors and giving statements
Giving by donor and year, then year-end statements with your logo, message and signature, emailed or printed in one batch.
Year-end forms, done
W-2s, 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC, and the figures for your 990, 990-EZ or 990-N, straight from the books.
Never miss a tax date
Payroll deposits, 941s and filing deadlines show up a week ahead, on your dashboard and in your inbox.
Paychecks, deposits and tax filings, in the same books
In QuickBooks, payroll and the bank feed can both record a paycheck unless you match it by hand. In HookBooks every paycheck posts once, its direct deposit matches it, and the 941, 940 and W-2 come from the same numbers.
- Federal withholding from IRS Publication 15-T, Social Security and Medicare to the cent
- Direct deposit file for your bank, and the tax deposits it creates
- Employee portal for pay stubs and W-2s
Payroll opens in April 2027 for Florida, Wisconsin and Colorado employers.
Simple pricing. Everything included.
No per-feature tiers. Donor statements, 1099s and 990 figures come with every plan.

Tax IDs, bank accounts and payroll deserve more care than a spreadsheet. Here's what HookBooks does by default.
- Two-step sign-inA code from an authenticator app, and owners can require it for everyone.
- Sensitive numbers encryptedTax IDs and bank account numbers are encrypted and shown only as the last four digits.
- Books that can't be quietly changedEntries are never edited or deleted. A correction is a new entry, so the history stays complete.
- Every change loggedWho did what and when, for your board, your auditor and your own peace of mind.
- Forms sent safelyW-2s and 1099s go out as a secure link, never as an email attachment.
- Roles for your teamOwner, bookkeeper and view-only access, so volunteers see only what they need.
Questions
Can I bring my QuickBooks history?
Yes, and it takes minutes. Export from QuickBooks Online and upload the files; HookBooks brings in your chart of accounts, donors, vendors and transactions, and you can compare a year's Profit & Loss side by side before you switch.
Is it only for churches?
No. It started with a ministry, so donor and 990 tools are built in, but any small organization with simple books and a few employees fits.
Which states does payroll support?
Florida, Wisconsin and Colorado at launch in April 2027, with more states to follow.
Can my accountant get in?
Yes. Invite them as a bookkeeper or view-only user.
