Members, money and the till

How do golf clubs collect membership subscriptions?

Members join and renew online and the subscription is collected by direct debit, so the club is not chasing cheques against a spreadsheet. Renewal reminders are automated, and the finance side carries invoicing, subscription billing, UK VAT handling and aged debtors.

The facts

• Online joining, renewals and direct debit collection.
• Automated invoicing and subscription billing.
• VAT handling for UK clubs, and departmental cost tracking.
• Aged debtor management, and revenue dashboards with profit and loss by department.
• Xero and QuickBooks integration for the accounting handoff.
• Automated renewal reminders, aimed at a category and approved before they are sent.

How Paralo does it

The subscription, the reminder and the arrears figure are the same record seen from three desks: membership, comms and finance. Nobody exports one to tell the other what happened, and the number the finance office reads is the number the membership secretary is working from.
