While you concentrate on your community and building your organization, our team will work with you to simplify the accounting process and make sure that your financial records remain accurate and up-to-date.
The problem is that not only the Pastor but also the kind-hearted volunteer may be able to set up and maintain proper accounting systems. If this happens, you may end up with inefficient church bookkeeping.
In order to keep the cost of bookkeeping staff at a small church affordable, it is common to combine the position with another job. Other churches may have to hire someone part-time, who may not be as experienced. For many, however, this means that they will need a volunteer treasurer to manage the accounting. A trained person who does bookkeeping in many churches will be able to provide you with better quality work at a lower price.

The biblical pattern shows without question that the pastor should be involved in the oversight of the church's finances, however, Scripture also prescribes the attitude and actions of the pastor to avoid disqualification of influence and trust.
In a non-profit organization, such as a church, the board is the bearer of this fiduciary responsibility and therefore should properly oversee all operations, including finances, to protect the members of the church.
