Whether your church has a full-time paid staff, or consists of all volunteers, life in a church office can sometimes feel transient.   New finance committee members, church council members, volunteers, ushers and even staff members can come and go, and not know exactly what is expected of them.  Administration of church finances is a sacred trust. It is very important for the Pastor to establish a strong system of internal control because he/she has the responsibility for overall stewardship of the Church.

One important service we offer to churches is in assistance with documenting, reviewing, and helping create robust internal control systems within the church organization.   Every church should have an Internal Controls document that will help train new staff, volunteers, finance committee members, and clergy on what is expected of them to maintain the integrity of the organization and the trust of its supporters. Internal Controls are essential to protect the assets of the church from waste, fraud, and inefficient use. Internal controls also benefit staff and volunteers by showing that management has procedures in place to avoid even the slightest appearance of misbehavior, thus protecting their reputation.

We can also serve as your office bookkeeper or Church CFO, maintaining accurate books and payroll, a budget, and a clear cash flow picture to ensure continuity and sustainability.

We recognize each church is different and each denomination within the Body of Christ may have a unique set of standards that they are trying to maintain.  As a result of these differences between denominations, we take the time to understand what matters to each individual church, document the current systems being used, make recommendations to improve the systems that are already in place, and design an on-going review that helps keep the operations and systems relevant and efficient.

• Internal Control Review
• Bookkeeping
