Bring your accounting history.
Review it before it moves.
Moving church accounting records starts with understanding the data you can export. Harbor provides a CSV import workflow for accounting exports, with account and fund mapping, validation and a review step before entries are posted.

Match accounts and funds
Review how source accounts and funds map to the church’s records. Import opening balances or supported transaction history using the appropriate workflow.
Check before posting
Review errors and totals before committing an import. Balance checks and duplicate detection help prevent incomplete or repeated financial entries.

A PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
A careful migration is more useful than a blind upload.
The importer checks structured transaction data and retains source references for review. Opening-balance imports require the appropriate starting state, and historical transactions need enough information to identify and balance each entry. Your finance team should compare totals and fund balances against the source system after import.

This is not a direct connection to PowerChurch and does not read every proprietary backup or database format. Export layouts vary. Review a sample export with Harbor before planning a full migration. PowerChurch is a third-party product; Harbor is not affiliated with or endorsed by its provider.
Can I upload a complete PowerChurch backup?
Not through the CSV importer. It accepts supported accounting export data, not proprietary full-system backups.
What if I do not know which export to use?
Contact Harbor with the report name and column headings. Do not send confidential donor or payroll records in the first email.
Can I import the same transactions twice?
The importer checks source identifiers and content to detect duplicates. Review the preview and preserve a source backup before posting.
