# How Do I Connect Donor Data to My Accounting System?

You connect donor data to accounting through native ERP integration, so recorded gifts flow directly without anyone retyping the data. On **Jestor**, this functions through native integration with **Omie** or **Conta Azul**.

Donor data tracked separately from accounting forces someone to manually re-enter gift details into the accounting system, a process prone to delay and error.

## What disconnected donor data costs

- Manual re-entry of gift details into the accounting system
- Risk of a transcription error between the two separate records
- Delay between a gift being recorded and it actually reaching accounting
- Duplicate data entry work across two disconnected systems

## How connecting donor data to accounting works

- A recorded **gift** triggers a connection to the **ERP**
- Donor, amount, and designation details transfer automatically
- The connected ERP handles the actual financial processing
- Both records stay linked for reconciliation and future reference

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Native integration removes the manual re-entry step completely
- This eliminates the risk of a transcription error between two records
- Gifts reach accounting faster, without waiting on manual entry
- This scales from a small donor base to an organization with high gift volume
