Church Bookkeeping

Fund accounting that keeps tithes, missions gifts and building funds separate, reported honestly, and ready for whoever asks.

Church Bookkeeping for churches

Overview

A church's books are not a business's books.

Every gift that arrives with a condition attached creates an obligation. A building fund donation cannot quietly fund the summer program. A missions gift belongs to missions. Getting that wrong is rarely dishonest and almost always damaging, because the person who gave it will eventually ask.

That is what fund accounting exists to solve, and it is included without limit at every tier. Restricted funds, designated funds and grants are each tracked on their own, reconciled monthly along with every bank account, credit card, investment account and liability, so at any point you can show a giver exactly what happened to their money.

We served as treasurer at a church plant we helped start, alongside student ministries director and small group leader. The reports we build answer the questions a finance team actually asks in a meeting.

What that means in practice

The parts that matter for churches.

Restricted and designated funds

Tracked separately without limit, so nothing is commingled and every designation survives the month.

Contributions reconciled

Giving reconciled to the bank with donor designations intact, ready for whoever prepares your year-end statements.

Board-ready reporting

Balance Sheet, Budget vs. Actual and custom board packets, from Priority upward.

Audit assistance

Your auditors get the data they request. We do not conduct audits, reviews or compilations.

Common questions

What churches ask most.

Yes, without limit, at every tier, including the entry one. It is the part of church accounting that matters most and it is never treated as an add-on.
Most churches are exempt, but some church-affiliated organizations are not. We keep your records ready either way and work with whoever prepares the filing. Tax filing itself is not a service MMB offers.
That is a familiar starting point. We have worked with startup churches that did not have a bank account yet, through to multi-site organizations.
Yes. Sleep At Night covers one point of contact, Priority two, and the Fractional CFO tier three, which usually covers a treasurer, an administrator and a board chair.
