Your church has a very important mission. Don't let bookkeeping get in the path of that mission. The right software for church accounting can make it easy to do church bookkeeping accurately and quickly. This will allow you and your administrative staff to get back to what really matters to you ministry.
Sometimes, congregations are faced with difficult bookkeeping questions and may need to outsource this work. Atlanta Church Bookkeeping LLC is here to help you save time, money, and manage your bookkeeping needs.
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.
However, every church must manage its finances. Every week there are tithes to be paid and offerings to be made. There are bills that need to be paid, income to meet, as well as salaries to be earned. It's all a lot of work to keep track. Accounting software for churches can help you navigate these waters, even if Excel is not your forte and you don’t know the difference between a debit or a credit.
These responsibilities may vary from church-to-church depending on the job description or according to their bylaws.
Churches call the traditional balance sheet a statement of financial position. It uses the accounting equation “Assets = Liabilities + Equity” to show a snapshot of your organization's financial health. It also shows the current balance of each of your funds if you've been implementing fund accounting for your church.
Churches And Transparency
The standards of the Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability require that member organizations provide audited financial statements on request.
Churches and religious nonprofits must maintain highly accurate accounting and bookkeeping records in order to maintain their nonprofit status, budget accurately, and provide reporting to government entities and their parishoners or members.
