About invoicing making GnuCash show assets (accounts receivable) when the dues are billed (or pledges receivable), I don't see why that would be much of a problem.  Couldn't that be addressed by your entering a journal entry to zero out the asset balance and reverse the income recognized, whenever financial reports are to be issued, and especially at the end of a reporting year?

If your organization only required ONE financial report a year, doing it that way, adjusting "accrual" to cash" would perhaps be the least onerous way to proceed.

But all the organizations for which I have been treasurer required MUCH more frequent financial reports to be created. You are perhaps referring to the YE reports used to fill out the forms submitted to governments. And/or used for the annual financial report to the "membership".

To give you some examples:

One organization of which I was treasurer --- reports before each quarterly board meeting. And pretty printed YE report to post on website (actually use rougher form of YE for government forms as needing details uninteresting to membership)

Another, running an event -- before each meeting of the event committee, then a final filed with the national organization treasurer.

On organization of which I am not treasurer but on finance committee -- two major reports (pretty printed) one for membership annual meeting and one for semi-annual meeting (as in the first case, probably using the rougher form to fill out government forms). But also a report for every monthly meeting of the finance committee.

Still think adjusting before each report a good idea? BTW, two of those three examples "churches" << quotes because not Christian churches >>
