What do you like best about IconCMO?

IconCMO is always very prompt with their responses. Even if they need to research or log in to our account, they always reply and say they are working on it. They are always willing to get on the phone with me and work through my questions together. Last year I had a big payroll issue, and without their help I don't know how I would have resolved it. Our Financial Secretary is also pleased with the ease of entering contributions and printing our contribution statements at the end of the year. We've been using IconCMO since 2020 and I found all the tutorials invaluable in implementing the software. In short, I can't imagine using any other software that might be out there. I am a fan for life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IconCMO?

I can't think of anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IconCMO solving and how is that benefiting you?

IconCMO helps me correct mistakes that I have made, or questions that I have about how to report specific things. This helps me be sure my statements are accurate and that we are reporting things correctly to our congregation.. It also helps our council make decisions regarding the church's future.

What do you like best about IconCMO?

The fund accounting works great - especially for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IconCMO?

.payroll does not do direct deposits

.reports are limited

.only inports data from selected banks

.does not inport credit card data

.does not allow for credit card sub accounts. We have one main CC account with several individual cards issued to different individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IconCMO solving and how is that benefiting you?

Survey would not allow me to NOT check Church Management. Our church uses someone else and another application for church management. I am using it JUST for the accounting side. It was cheaper than APLOS or any other accounting package that uses funds that I bound in 2022.

Was using QuickBooks but got VERY tired of their non-fund accounding software and high priced support.

ICON is user friendy and has has quick email support. I have never had any reason to call them for support so do not how well that works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IconCMO?

We have been using Icon for a number of years now and I have been impressed from the beginning. We switched to Icon from another church management program and the process was easy, especially with the help from their customer support people. We use it daily for all of our accounting and membership needs, and while it is very comprehensive, it is also easy to use. The very few times I have had a problem, customer support has always been excellent in resolving my issue in a single call. It has features beyond our needs, is frequently updated with new and/or improved features, is easy to implement, easy to use and integrates all of our membership and accounting needs into one awesome software package. I highly reccomend Icon to any church looking for a new software management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IconCMO?

The software is very user-friendly, and the customer service is top-notch! I can honestly say I have never had better customer service with a program. I am very new to bookkeeping and I feel like I was calling every day to get help. I never felt like I was inconveniencing them or dumb for asking the questions.

What do you like best about IconCMO?

IconCMO was easy to set up, used double-entry accounting system and was the best product that had I found for the price in 2013 when we planted a new congregation in Fulshear. After using Quickbooks and Excel spreadsheets at another church, I found IconCMO much easier to use. Recording contributions was easy and the year end statements were a breeze. The product is continually updated with new features and functionality and pricing remains very reasonable. The payroll option and the ability to import contributions from Vanco was a timesaving feature that I wish we had used earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IconCMO?

After using IconCMO for so many years, sometimes the enhancements and additional features take time for me to learn how to use and make me a little less productive for a short period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IconCMO solving and how is that benefiting you?

Payroll, contribution recording and reporting, financial statements for the banks and accounting firms we use to audit our statements. We needed an accounting package that was better suited to churches and non-profits and IconCMO fit the bill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
