hontreasurer.com is a membership and bookkeeping system for small and medium sized (from a few thousand Pounds, Euros or Dollars up to about a million Pounds, Euros or Dollars) Clubs & Societies (which may also be charities). For this type of organisation, it has the following significant advantages:
  • hontreasurer.com has the facilities you need because it was made by people who run these type of organisations. For example, there are comprehensive facilities for selecting and sorting contacts and emailing them or printing labels for them.
  • The bookkeeping system is comprehensive catering for any number of Bank and Petty Cash accounts. It is designed for Honorary Treasurers who may have no previous experience of bookkeeping, yet the same information can be used by a professional to produce formal accounts.
  • Because the information is stored centrally, membership and accounting records are available to any person who is authorised. Crucially, different information can be made available to different officers; for example accounting records to the Treasurer and membership records to Secretaries, and all information to the Chair.

Major Characteristics

Major Uses
  • Can be used from any computer with access to the Internet
  • Installation is completely automatic
  • Any number of users (with suitable access rights) can use the system at the same time
  • "Pay as you Go" schemes, from free access for small non-profit organisations, up to full commercial use
  • Virtually no set-up required - analyses can be added as you go along
  • Very cute Bank Reconciliation feature takes the pain out of reconciliations
  • Unlike traditional accounting systems, and more like Spreadsheets, users can "edit" transactions when a mistake has been made. A history is kept, though, so unlike a spreadsheet, there is a proper audit trail of amendments to the system
  • Can run in any currency with two decimal places (i.e. most currencies)
  • Pass on, or share, the Treasurer's duties without incurring further fees or transferring data.
  • All usage of the system is, as far as possible, in layman's terms. For example, when a cheque is received, the user chooses the option "Cheque Received".
  • Clubs
  • Membership Societies
  • Charities
  • Small Companies
  • Individuals & Couples for Household Accounts
  • Teaching Aid for Students


The Primrose edition is the Receipts and Payments version of the hontreasurer.com small accounting system. For Income & Expenditure and more complex systems, see also the Bluebell edition (gives Invoicing) and Foxglove editoin (gives Fixed Assets and Budgets).

hontreasurer.com was originally written for the East London Late Starters Orchestra (ELLSO), a London Charity devoted to the teaching of Stringed Instruments to those who start later in life. hontreasurer.com is a system which has very low startup costs in terms of installation and learning, and which reduces the load on the volunteer Treasurer by allowing event organisers and the Membership Secretary to share much of the routine work of entering financial transactions.
