Case Study: The Well Community Church achieves streamlined fund accounting and time and cost savings with Aplos

Large Church Saves Both Time and Money by Switching to Aplos

The Well Community Church is a non-denominational, multisite church in California’s Central Valley with 82 employees and a $6.1M annual budget. CFO Brent Taylor struggled with QuickBooks Desktop because it wasn’t true fund accounting, required numerous month‑end journal entries and workarounds, and lacked clear, flexible reporting as the church’s fund structure grew more complex.

The church switched to Aplos for true fund accounting and an easy-to-use income allocation tool that eliminated many month‑end entries, saving staff time and reducing costs. Aplos also delivered clearer, more intuitive reports, user-specific access for secure self-service reporting, and responsive product support—giving The Well a scalable solution that can grow with the organization.
