OCM Financial review
Broad parish accounting, giving, reconciliation, and reporting from $10 per month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OCM Financial is a church finance platform for Catholic parishes, schools, and dioceses. It brings general-ledger accounting, fund tracking, online giving, bank feeds, automatic reconciliation, vendor management, payment processing, budgeting, tuition billing, and diocesan reporting into one system. Its audience includes parish business managers, diocesan finance leaders, and school finance teams handling restricted funds, assessments, campaigns, and consolidated reporting. Web, iOS, and Android access support both administrative work and giving workflows.
Pricing is structured around parish size. Small Parish costs $10 per month for parishes with fewer than 500 families. Medium Parish costs $15 per month for parishes with 500–1,500 families, while Large Parish costs $25 per month for parishes with more than 1,500 families. Each parish plan has a flat monthly fee. Schools, dioceses, and other entities are billed per entity with custom quotes, and payment processing is passed through at cost. There is no free plan, but the published parish tiers make the entry point straightforward for organizations that fit the stated family ranges.
The strongest case for OCM Financial is breadth within parish finance. Its general ledger follows fund accounting aligned to FASB ASC 958, while restricted-fund tracking, budget-versus-actual analysis, campaign feasibility, solvency checks, and consolidated reporting address oversight needs beyond basic bookkeeping. Direct bank feeds support automatic reconciliation, and vendor tools include bill entry, approvals, and three-way matching. Giving connects with recurring donations and campaign pledges, with integrations including Plaid, Payabli, ParishSOFT, QuickBooks, Pushpay, Tithe.ly, Vanco, WeShare, Faith Direct, and OSV. Catholic organizations wanting a focused financial system should consider it; organizations outside that focus or seeking a free plan should look elsewhere.
