JARIYAH

Bookkeeping built for a masjid

Jariyah Bookkeeping is double-entry accounting made for a masjid, not a business. Every gift posts itself to the books against its fund, bank statements are imported and reconciled, bills are recorded and paid, and the statement of financial position, statement of operations and cash flow are produced in a charity’s own words.

Bookkeeping

What it does

  • Books that cannot drift

    Every entry balances to the cent or is refused — by the software and again by the database. A posted entry is never edited; a correction is a reversal that names the original.

  • Gifts post themselves

    A kiosk card gift, a cheque or an e-transfer reaches the books in the same step as the gift, to the right account and the right fund.

  • Funds kept apart

    Zakat, Sadaqah, a building fund: every line can carry its fund, and the Funds tab shows what each received, spent and holds.

  • Bank, cash and card accounts

    Money in, money out and transfers, with bank charges and card processing fees recorded where they belong.

  • Bank reconciliation

    Import OFX, QFX or CSV statements. Lines are matched or approved, never imported twice, and a reconciliation completes only when it agrees to the cent.

  • Suppliers and bills

    Bills with the due date printed on them, payments that never exceed what is owed, and recurring bills or payments made for you on their schedule.

  • Statements and the year-end

    Statement of financial position, statement of operations, cash flow and payables ageing, each checking itself, and a year-end close that locks the year.

  • Prior books, brought in and graded

    Your reconciled working papers are imported to the cent or not at all, then graded A to E against a written Canadian charity books standard.

How it works

How it works for a masjid

  1. 1

    Start from your real numbers

    Your prior books come in from your reconciled working papers, to the cent, or nothing is written.

  2. 2

    Let the money arrive

    Gifts and madrasha fee payments reach the books by themselves; bank lines come in from your statements.

  3. 3

    Reconcile every month

    Import the bank statement, match or approve each line, and complete the reconciliation when it agrees.

  4. 4

    Close the year

    Produce the statements your board and your accountant read, then close the year so nothing moves in it.

People

Who uses it

  • The treasurer

    Owners and administrators keep the books by default; a masjid can give its treasurer’s role the bookkeeping permissions itself.

  • The board

    Reads the statements, in a charity’s words: net assets, not profit.

  • Your accountant

    Follows every entry back to its source; a proposed adjusting entry is never posted without your treasurer or accountant approving it.

  • Staff

    Do not see the books unless the masjid gives them that permission.

Questions

Bookkeeping: common questions

Is Jariyah Bookkeeping made for charities or for businesses?

For charities. It speaks a charity’s language — donors, funds, net assets, a statement of operations — and has no customers, invoices or point of sale. Money a masjid is owed, such as madrasha fees, is kept by the service that creates it and posts to the books from there.

How are Zakat and other restricted funds kept apart?

Every line in the books can carry a fund. What Zakat, Sadaqah or a building fund received, spent and holds is added up from its own lines and shown on the Funds tab, so money given for one purpose is always visible apart from the general total.

Can a posted entry be changed?

No. A posted entry is never edited or deleted, and the database itself refuses it. A mistake is corrected with a reversal: a new entry that names the original and swaps its sides, dated on an open day. That leaves a complete trail your accountant can follow from end to end.

Which bank statement files can it import?

OFX, QFX and CSV. A file for another account or another currency is refused, a line is never imported twice, and each waiting line is matched to the books, approved into them or set aside. A reconciliation completes only when the statement balance equals the cleared lines to the cent.

Can we bring in our previous books?

Yes, from your reconciled working papers. The import reproduces their totals and month-end balances to the cent or writes nothing, then the books are graded A to E against a written standard drawn from Canadian charity rules. The grade shows readiness; it is not an audit opinion.
