How do you kep control of your money? We collect from members and pool the money to invest in our armory and arsenal, we pool the money in the guildhall maintenance pool.
I know a seperate bank account doesnt exist for PAs with sperate permissions, so how do you manage your finances?
thanks for any advice

We just have a list of senior members who have admin on the PA Hall, all other members can tip their donations to these members, who then pay it into the hall. Currently, we are just gathering a sum to cover monthly maintenance and anything left over rolls over to the next month. That's all we do! =D

We started a business. Everything sold goes to the PA fund. Everyone either contributes lots or
items for sale. Out of the weekly income, expenses for running the Hall, houses and extractors are subtracted(members are reimbursed the costs of running PA harvs) and the remainder is divided up among all members in a form of salary with rank determining what percentage each member gets.

Me and 3 or 4 friends basically just drop in a bunch of spare credits to the hall when we can. It always has about a month's worth in it and that is all we really need as a safety net (take out loans if need be or something) outside of that its basically a take care of yourself guild. We don't have many crafters so it would be pointless to exploit them and we always just try to help each other out when we can so money just doesn't matter.

i had an idea for this but have yet to impliment it cuz its kindof a pain. Set a tax for members, This could be done through a vender via a dice that people need to buy. They need to turn in one dice for one month of taxes (the serial number for the dice is important). I know this is a time hog but with even 10-15 members, this allows for everyone to pay a fair amount and for the burdeon not to be on the people who usually pay whole thing, the leaders. 1k tax per month would either cover all expenses or a good chunk depending on size of PA

Before we had a city we had a vendor in the PA Hall, some guild member would donated a couple crates of "dues payments", which then we required every member of the guild to buy one of, and all the cash went into the pa hall's treasury. They weren't always dice, either. One time we put up Neutron Pixie as the dues payment, needless to say, we had to swat people away from the vendor "NO! You can only buy ONE! We only have enough for ONE!".
It gave our crafters some experience, and some exposure, and all the profits went to the guild. Pretty good deal.
Then we got the city, now we just have a set income tax, and the city treasury is more or less the guild treasury. Of course, now we have so many Masters, the PA Hall is fully funded seperately of the city treasury.

Most of my guild's senior members are longtime crafters, so we've pretty much handled the finances on our hall between us, and invited members to make donations towards the maintenance if they'd like to by talking to an officer and tipping them the amount of their donation.
We also maintain a couple of communal storage houses with giveaway items and extra space to help with temporary moves, and we invite folks to chip in for maintenance on those houses as well.
