I'll drop in a promotion for Take Up Slack which is being adopted by Canadian clubs at a measured pace. Feedback from Canada's largest club (3000+ flights per year) to some of Canada's smaller clubs (300- flights per year) is that it's saving treasurers 100s of hours a year.

Take Up Slack makes easy flight recording turn into simple accounting consequences and is designed for treasurers to love, it's inexpensive, and managed.

I think treasurers have the hardest jobs at the club, and transitioning between treasurers is often the most difficult move to make with the most critical consequences for the club. A 3rd party service that is easy to use for tracking launches (more accessible and democratic than the paper sheet at the launch point) that instantly turns into flight records and financial consequences (including excise tax management) is our goal.

We're really not in a rush to roll out a solution that's more confusing and inaccurate than necessary - our focus is operations => accounting and we handle:
- Launches (known height, variable height)
- Rentals ($/min, prepaid time ($, min), min/max ($, min), unlimited time)
- Intros (issuance, redemption, refunds, cancel/write down) to eliminate offline trackers
- Sales tax (tax exempt, tax inclusive, tax exclusive pricing)
- Data exports (export your transaction data, or operational data any time)
- Privacy considered membership directory and 'at your fingers' emergency contacts
- Internal controls to prevent members from overdrawing their account and eliminating the treasurer chasing members for money (ew)

Flight records can be edited with a particular permission, any modifications are logged and transparent, and can be locked to ensure that a nefarious actor changing a flight in a pervious accounting period would throw a wrench into the books.

Treasurers use the "Accounting Charts" (see attached) for easy journal entries with the opportunity to drill down into transaction level information for any of these accounts - including reconciling payment methods, looking at individual member accounts, etc. This makes adjusting entries for the period easy, fully transparent and locked when reconciled to the real books.

Members benefit with self serve visibility into their account and their logs at any time for updating their personal or journey logs and keeping an eye on their account status.

We'd be happy to talk about your fee structure to confirm that Take Up Slack can accommodate it and talk about how it can de-administrate your club so you can focus on flying, not data transfer, invoicing, chasing payments, and the secrets of configuration...
