A common challenge faced by many faith-based organizations: creating engaging and meaningful reports to make it clear where the church is financially. Traditional reporting methods often fail to capture the attention of church leaders. With Martus, churches can generate visually appealing and informative reports that communicate financial health and progress toward goals. As one Martus client noted, "No more boring board reports—our leaders now have a clear view of our financial situation, which helps them make better decisions for our ministry." This ability to present financial data compellingly empowers churches to make informed decisions that further their mission.
Martus also equips churches and ministries with powerful forecasting tools. These tools enable faith-based organizations to anticipate future financial needs and adjust their strategies accordingly. By providing a clear view of potential challenges and opportunities, Martus helps ministries proactively manage their resources, ensuring they are well-prepared to sustain and grow their mission.

With Martus, faith-based organizations can confidently navigate their financial journey, knowing they have a trusted partner to support them every step of the way.
Flexible Forecasting
With Martus, churches can use forecasting tools to anticipate fluctuations in giving, whether donations are trending up or down. By analyzing these trends, churches can plan for growth, ensuring they allocate resources effectively to support their expanding ministries.
✔ Reforecast and adjust for unexpected events
✔ Forecast for a new campus

✔ Actuals to assist in long-term plans
Martus is more than a financial tool— it's a partner in your mission
By simplifying budgeting, enhancing reporting, and empowering proactive planning, Martus ensures that churches and faith-based ministries can focus on what truly matters: serving their communities and fulfilling their mission.
