Finance and business management for ministries

Ministry Finance manages the business side of your ministry, especially the finances, so you can give your full attention to the vision God has placed on your heart.

I got tired of watching pastors drown in the business side of running a ministry.

Pastors go into ministry to preach, to shepherd, and to build what God has put on their hearts. The books, the payroll, and the filings still have to be done, and too often they land on the pastor’s desk.

I started Ministry Finance to take that weight. We handle the business side so you can do what you are called to and gifted at, and live life to the fullest.

What we carry

The business side of ministry, handled.

One team for the financial work that keeps a ministry healthy and in good standing.

  • Bookkeeping and reconciliation

    Every gift, expense, and designated fund recorded and reconciled each month.

  • Payroll and housing allowance

    Staff paid accurately and on time, with minister compensation and housing allowance set up the right way.

  • Budgets and cash planning

    A budget that reflects your vision, and a clear view of what the ministry can afford and when.

  • Reports your board can read

    Plain monthly statements that show where the ministry stands, ready for your next board meeting.

  • Giving records and statements

    Contribution records kept clean all year, with donor statements ready each January.

  • Filings and compliance

    Payroll tax filings, 1099s, and the records that keep your ministry in good standing.

How it works

Three steps from buried to free.

  1. We listen

    We start with a conversation about your ministry, how the finances run today, and what is weighing on you.

  2. We take the books

    We get your records in order and take over the monthly work, with a process that fits your ministry.

  3. You lead with clarity

    Each month you receive clear reports and a person to call. The decisions stay yours. The busywork does not.

What changes

Freedom to live in your gifting.

  • Your week back

    The hours you spend on spreadsheets and payroll return to your people, your study, and your family.

  • Decisions with clear numbers

    You know where the ministry stands before you hire, build, or launch.

  • Trust that holds

    Your board and your givers see finances handled with care and accuracy.

We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.Acts 6:4 (KJV)
