A small church may not have the budget to hire someone for bookkeeping. To make it more appealing, they often combine the two roles. It may be necessary to hire a part-time employee who doesn't have much experience for other churches. It may be necessary to ask a volunteer treasurer for help with the accounting. You can get better work for a cheaper price by hiring someone who has been trained in bookkeeping for multiple churches.
