“I developed the blog at alfredjohnson.net to serve as a resource for a church’s financial leadership,” he said. “Here they will find a variety of information including helpful ways to use the software, year-end tips, accounting news, coming feature updates, advance notice of releases and release notes as well as the status of existing software issues and resolution progress. I’d also like this to be a forum where church leaders can share their opinions on new ideas that might be included in future software releases as well as a forum for questions around ways they can best use the software to streamline their day-to-day work on behalf of their ministries.”
Many of you may also remember Alfred as the Editor of the popular SSTips Newsletter which ran for many years.
