Bookkeeping & Fractional CFO for Ministries

Accounting for the mission‑minded.

Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. Proverbs 11:14

Seven years in the numbers, and years before that in ministry. We have kept the books for more than 50 churches, non-profits and small businesses, from church plants with no bank account yet to multi-site organizations.

Who we serve

A partner who works with you, not for you.

The organizations we work best with know they need help and want someone alongside them rather than behind a spreadsheet. That distinction shapes everything: your team learns the system instead of depending on the person who built it.

  • Churches from plants with no bank account yet to multi-site organizations, where designated gifts have to stay designated.
  • Non-profits that have to show a funder exactly where a grant went, line by line.
  • Small businesses from under $250,000 up to $1,000,000 in revenue, on their own tiers rather than borrowed ones.

Read our story

01 / What we do

Two sets of tiers, kept separate on purpose.

Churches and non-profits have one set of tiers. For-profit small businesses have another. They are priced, closed and reported differently, so they are never presented as one list.

For churches and non-profits

Nonprofit and church monthly bookkeeping.

Three tiers, all of them for churches and non-profit organizations. Unlimited grant, restricted and designated fund tracking is included at every one, along with two months of catch-up work before your engagement begins.

For for-profit small businesses

Bookkeeping for small businesses.

Add-ons

Set-up and catch-up, added to a monthly tier.

Neither of these is sold on its own. They attach to a monthly engagement, and both are quoted rather than listed, because the work varies enormously with your structure and how far back the records go.

“Your accounting tells one part of your story. We help you tell it well.”
The Mission-Minded promise

02 / How it works

How working with us actually starts.

Five steps, in this order, every time. Nothing happens until you have seen a number.

Step 01

A call

First we talk through what your organization needs, in depth. No charge and no pitch deck.

Step 02

A quote

We request your financial data and build a quote around what we find, rather than dropping you into a package.

Step 03

Engagement letter

If the quote works, a formal engagement letter comes over for signature so both sides know exactly what was agreed.

Step 04

Onboarding

You receive onboarding requests, then a video call covering your current accounting systems and where we fit into them.

Step 05

The first close

The two months before your start date are caught up as part of the engagement, and the monthly rhythm begins.

03 / Service tiers

Services tailored to your mission.

Three monthly tiers for churches and non-profits, with unlimited restricted and designated fund tracking at every one. Small businesses have two tiers of their own.

04 / What guides us

Principles that guide every set of books.

I

Mission first

Financial clarity is not the goal. It is the tool that lets your organization get on with the work it was actually called to.

II

Teaching as we go

We would rather your treasurer understand the fund report than depend on us to read it. Good stewardship is the point.

III

Partner, not vendor

The organizations this works best for want someone alongside them. Your team learns the system rather than renting it.

IV

Accuracy

Restricted money has to be provable, not just recorded. Every account reconciled, every designation intact.

From the resource hub

Good to know

Questions we hear most.

It begins with a call about what your organization needs, then a quote based on the financial data we request. Once the engagement letter is signed you get onboarding requests and a video call to walk through your current systems and how we fit into them.
QuickBooks Online. We set it up so the chart of accounts and class listing handle restricted and designated funds properly, which is what makes fund reporting work rather than being bolted on afterwards.
Yes. As part of every engagement we close the two months before your start date, and we offer catch-up services for records that are further behind.
No. We are based in Central Indiana and love serving local churches, but our work is cloud-based, so we support ministries and non-profits across the country.
