Why it matters

A paper tally sheet can’t answer these questions on its own

Does the cash on the table match what the bags said?

Two long columns, added by hand, compared by eye, after a full service.

If it doesn’t match, where is the difference?

A ฿100 gap could be hiding anywhere in a pile of notes. The usual fix is to count everything again.

If a figure changed after signing, why?

Corrections on paper leave no reason behind for the treasurer or an auditor to read.

Offering Count answers all three at the counting table, before the sheet is signed.

See it in action

A real count, start to finish, for each kind of offering

0:00 / 2:09

The video starts on its own when this slide opens. Click it, or press K, to pause while you explain. Click a step to jump to it. The three demos play one after another (about four minutes in all); the buttons jump straight to one. At the end, play starts again from Sabbath School. Sabbath School (bags): 0:06 start; 0:14 eight bags on the keypad; 0:38 cash by denomination, about 0:49 the hint says one ฿100 note short; 0:55 close; 1:03 reopen with a reason. Tithe and Special Offering (envelopes): 0:05 the preset switches the count to envelopes; 0:19 name, amount and note per envelope; Somchai Wong's second envelope is flagged but allowed; 0:49 cash, the gap is named until it closes; 1:00 balanced and closed. Divine Service (loose cash): 0:05 the preset switches to loose cash; 0:19 ฿4,840 counted, nothing to reconcile against; 0:37 USD 20 and JPY 1,000 recorded as given, not converted; 1:00 closed, foreign money shown apart from the baht total.

A printed tally sheet for a Tithe and Special Offering count: summary, envelopes, cash by denomination, reconciliation marked balanced, and signature lines

For the treasurer’s file

A printed report someone can sign

Laid out like an accounting report

Figures right-aligned, a shortfall shown in parentheses, a rule above each total and a double rule beneath.

Whose money it is, on every page

Church, university and congregation in the header, so a loose page is still identified.

Three signature lines

Counted by, Verified by, and Received by (Treasurer).

Sent the way you already work

PDF by e-mail, Drive or straight to a printer, or plain text pasted into LINE.

For the treasurer and head deacon

The admin desk, on any computer

Every count from every phone, in one place: count.rindra.org/?admin

1
Reports
What came in by month, quarter or year: each Sabbath, each offering, each group. Exports to Excel or CSV.
2
Counts
Every count, who counted, the cash by denomination, and its tally sheet PDF. Reopen, with a reason.
3
Church
The join code and how long it lasts, which phones may count, the admins, and the group lists.

Admins only, signed in with a Microsoft account or an emailed code. Deacons’ phones can’t open it.

count.rindra.org/?admin

Admin desk, Reports: the quarter's total received, a stacked bar for each Sabbath by offering, and totals by offering and by Sabbath School group

Admin desk, Counts: a list of closed counts and one Divine Service count opened, with its cash by denomination and buttons for the tally sheet PDF, reopen and delete

Admin desk, Church: the join code and QR code (blurred here) with their expiry, the phones that share the church, the admins, and the Sabbath School groups

Everything the deacons count also arrives in one place for the treasurer and the head deacon: the admin desk, at count.rindra.org with ?admin on the end. It's laid out for a computer, not a phone. These are real screens from our church; the join code is blurred. Advance (or click a page on the left) to step through Reports, Counts and Church. Click the screenshot to see it full size; click again to close. Reports: what was received over any month, quarter or year, each Sabbath split by offering, and each Sabbath School group. It exports to Excel for the treasurer's own books, and flags any count still open or reopened. Counts: any single count, who counted it, the cash note by note, and the same tally sheet PDF you just saw. A correction can be made here too, but only with a reason that stays on the record. Church: a new phone waits until an admin lets it in, and the join code expires after a week unless renewed. Only people we add as admins can sign in, with their Microsoft account or a code sent to their email.
