Jewel System Benefits...

Cost Savings
There are some dramatic cost benefits when using the Jewel Church Accounting System Conference wide. Here are just a few of the more obvious ways Jewel saves time and expense.

Because Jewel is easy to learn, there is less training involved to get a new treasurer started.

Because Jewel in NOT menu driven and utilizes the unique and exclusive "NextStep" button to assist the treasurer, there are fewer calls for tech support.

Auditors can do a more thorough audit in less time because the data is more accessible and especially when using the Auditor program.

The Auditor program saves time when used to make database corrections for those inevitable mistakes.

The Data Server saves many hours and the expense of travel by being a conduit between the local Treasurer and the Auditor - bypass the snail-mail.

Jewel's Bank Reconciliation is so easy that most treasurers reconcile regularly - saving auditing time.

Because Jewel is easy enough for the smallest of churches and sophisticated and robust enough for the largest churches, the software makes an ideal choice as a "Conference standard" so you can focus your staff.

Cash Flow
Jewel has caused some interesting side effects. Some are rather obvious and some we had not anticipated. Never-the-less here are a few interesting ones.

Cash flow is improved for the Conferences when their churches are on Jewel because the remittances are submitted earlier in the month. Often there are numerous treasures that have their monthly report in Sunday morning.
Cash flow is improved when churches are on Jewel because the Jewel remittance automatically writes the check for the entire balance due and therefore fewer churches are behind in their remittance amount.
Jewel Reporter will make it easier to process the remittance checks and track the Conference cash flow.

A Bigger Picture
The whole Jewel Church Accounting System is a great package of tools that make the process easier and faster. Less work, less time, less travel, fewer employees -- all add up to savings. After all, every cost comes out of the pockets of the members -- and the Conference budget. We all want to be good stewards of God's resources.

Having one system that links all the processes is more efficient and cost effective. Conferences need tools that do the job right and efficiently. Realizing this, most Conferences recommend and urge all their churches to use the same system.

Churches look to the Conference to know what is available and what is best for them. We have the right to urge churches to follow our recommendations. But we also have the responsibility to recommend what is best for them and not waste the treasurer's time with a difficult program, or the church board's time trying to understand the reports. (Pardon our frankness in this, but we at Jewel live on both sides of this.)
