Financial dashboards

Your bookkeeper knows what is in every deposit.

Every payment is recorded with the family and what it paid for, and every bank deposit opens into the payments inside it, ready for QuickBooks. The monthly books take minutes, on every plan, including free.

What's in it

Every bank deposit downloads as QuickBooks-ready journal lines, debits equal to credits, so your bookkeeper is done in minutes

Twenty-seven accounts across ten distinct revenue streams: every dollar tagged the way a bookkeeper would tag it by hand

Built on a real double-entry ledger: the same accounting foundation banks and Stripe use, and the kind of financial architecture youth-sports platforms usually reserve for enterprise pricing

A bookkeeping file with gross, fees and net in their own columns for every payment, ready for QuickBooks Online, Xero or Wave

Line-item detail, not aggregate dumps: each ticket, registration, refund, and fee posts the way you would categorize it by hand

Hours back every month for whoever does your books: each deposit entry debits the bank for exactly what landed, so it matches the bank line on the first pass

Revenue summaries by period and by module: see exactly where the money came from

Collection rates and A/R aging: current, 30, 60, 90+ days overdue, at a glance

Ninety-day cash-flow forecast: know what is coming before it arrives

Payout tracking that follows every Stripe deposit to your bank account

Live numbers pulled from real payments, not a month-end reconciliation

Switches on automatically on every plan, including Community, the moment any money flows

QuickBooks-ready, deposit by deposit

Twenty-seven accounts. Ten revenue streams. Every deposit ready for QuickBooks.

Team Scout keeps a real double-entry chart of accounts, twenty-seven of them, grouped the way a bookkeeper reads them: Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue, Contra-revenue, and Expense. Ten of those are distinct revenue streams. Every dollar that moves through Team Scout, from a registration or a ticket to a donation, a merch order, a refund or a processing fee, posts to the right account with line-item detail. Each bank deposit then downloads as journal lines your bookkeeper keys into QuickBooks Online as one balanced entry.

Why this is different

Most sports platforms hand the bookkeeper a CSV export and a long evening. A handful of enterprise-grade systems, PlayMetrics and Crossbar the credible ones, have built real GL-mapped sub-ledgers, but they're priced for clubs with paid front offices and won't show you a number until you've sat through a sales demo. Team Scout is built on a normalized double-entry ledger, the same accounting foundation banks and Stripe use under the hood, and ships it to every plan, including free. Every transaction is already debited and credited against the right account internally, so the file your bookkeeper downloads already balances to the bank deposit. The financial architecture that used to require an enterprise budget is now running quietly under a homeschool team's free account, doing its job.

Why the chart stops at twenty-seven

We deliberately left out the five operating-expense accounts a typical sports program also tracks: equipment purchases, referee and official pay, facility rental, league fees and general admin. Those are off-platform: the club pays refs and fields directly, Team Scout never sees that money, and seeding empty accounts would create duplicates that confuse the bookkeeper's mapping. Those expenses live in your QuickBooks, on the lines you've already set up. Our files cover only the money that moves through Team Scout.

Every bank deposit comes out of Team Scout already laid out against these accounts, ready to key into QuickBooks as one balanced entry, the way you would categorize it by hand. The treasurer gets their evenings back.

What it costs

You never buy this. Financial Dashboards, and the QuickBooks-ready files that come with it, are not an add-on and not a line item. It switches on the moment any money starts moving through your org: the first ticket you sell on the free Community plan, the first donation on a fundraiser, the first paid registration. Active on every plan automatically.
