As of October 2022, I am not taking new clients for financial consulting.
Financial Consulting for Churches and Ministries
Your Money? My Problem.
Church accounting presents its own unique set of problems, doesn’t it?
And there aren’t always experts in your pews to help. As a result, many of our most thriving ministries don’t have the information or expertise they need in the specialized world of church accounting.
For some smaller churches, not hiring a church accountant was a cost-saving decision that ended up costing them dearly. They relied on non-experts for too long and wound up with small problems that escalated into large ones.
Budget forecasts. Payroll processing. Year-end activities. Specialized record keeping. Staying updated on changing rules surrounding things like parochial reports or restricted donations.
I’m an expert in church finance, and can jump right in with the help you need. Whether you need me to prevent errors, clean up existing ones, or simply give you hours of your day back, I’m here to handle all the number-crunching so YOU can focus on the work you’ve been called to do.
Since joining the Episcopal Church in 2004, I’ve been a parish treasurer, a vestry member, a diocesan finance committee member, a diocesan chief financial officer, and now vice-chair of the Episcopal Church's Finances for Mission Committee of the Executive Council. In these nearly twenty years, I’ve combined my career expertise with my calling as a lay minister in God’s church. What might be a headache for you is an absolute joy for me. Let me use my gifts and talents to ease the burden on your ministry!
We Need Big Help!
Sometimes you have a gap between treasurers, or you figure out too late that your bookkeeper wasn't... shall we say... up to speed on how accounting works. Or your church is expanding, you need to borrow money, and you want to be sure you're going to pass an external audit. Bring me on site! I swoop in, get the lay of the land, and get right to work taking your financial stress away. Along the way, I'll give you helpful tips, recommendations, and best practices to make your job as easy as possible going forward.
Special Notice: If your organization is still operating remotely, I can do much of this work off-site! Contact me and let's talk about your needs.
We Need Ongoing Help!
Are the people in your parish avoiding your phone calls because you're probably calling to ask them to be the zillionth treasurer? Save your time and energy, and let me be your bookkeeper. I provide fully virtual bookkeeper/accounting services for congregations, camps, conference centers, and other Episcopal-affiliated ministries. You pay one flat amount per month, I take care of all the financial stuff you don't have time for.
Special Notice: I am not taking new clients for ongoing bookkeeping services at this time.
