IconCMO
IconCMO is a web-based system designed for churches, combining membership records, donations, communication, and fund accounting. Membership tools centralize contact information, allow customizable fields, and retain historical records through archiving. Donation functions track contributions and pledges, create year-end statements, and can post donations directly to accounting. The maker says the system connects to eGiving platforms such as Vanco and supports multiple payment processors. Church accounting includes fund tracking and FASB-compliant, audit-ready reports, alongside budget tracking, expense management, bank reconciliation, financial reporting, and multi-entity support. iOS and Android apps provide directory access, donation history, and member information updates. The full system also works on iPad and Android tablets through a mobile-friendly web app without a download. Listed monthly plans include Accounting Standard at $35 a month and Membership & Donation Basic at $50 a month. The 30-day trial requires no credit card and has no automatic renewal or obligation. Icon Systems is headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, and was founded in 1992.
