The church bookkeepers are often mistaken with accountants for a long period. They have very different responsibilities. Bookkeepers are responsible for maintaining the financial records of the church. This includes income records and expense records. They are responsible for keeping records of every transaction that the church makes. It is their job to keep track all accounts. They also verify that accounting procedures have been followed correctly. Accounting, on other hand, does all the accounting work and provides auditing and tax planning as well as financial planning, payroll processing and consulting.
This is the ideal time to utilize our church bookkeeping services in order to ensure that all financial records and policies are correctly set up. Because you may only have one person to do your bookkeeping, outsourcing your bookkeeping allows you to concentrate on the growth of your organization.
