Outsourced Bookkeeping and Church Account Management Services

Churches and faith-based organizations can greatly benefit from outsourcing their bookkeeping and accounting services to Trusted Account Partners. It's important to maintain your tax-exempt status, file necessary taxes, secure financing for projects and charitable activities, track incoming funds, pay staff, and comply with government regulations.

Even as a tax-exempt entity, faith-based organizations have financial and regulatory responsibilities to fulfill. The financial professionals at Trusted Account Partners are here to help. With two decades of experience, we assist churches and religious organizations with bookkeeping services throughout the country, and with offices in the greater Charlotte, NC and Spartanburg, SC areas we are easy to reach and meet.

How Are Account Services for Churches Unique?

Churches and faith-based organizations need to carefully track their finances.

To stay compliant, it's crucial to use funds for charitable work rather than personal expenses, ensuring every dollar is accounted for. Since some charitable activities may involve personal assistance to community members, it's important to distinguish between private and charitable expenses.

The IRS has specific criteria for defining churches and faith organizations, including 14 factors like holding regular religious services, having a code and doctrine, and maintaining an established place of worship. Organizations that meet these criteria can enjoy benefits such as federal income tax exemption, unemployment tax exemption, and exemption from filing certain information returns. However, determining eligibility and maintaining compliance with these definitions can be time-consuming and complex.

Thats why our team at Trusted Account Partners has over two decades of experience assisting, churches, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits. We can manage everything from internal audits to bookkeeping and offer advice on freeing up more funds for your mission while ensuring compliance.

Benefits of outsourcing your Church bookkeeping and account services.

  • Enhancing Cash Flow

    Our team keeps a close eye on cash flow, vendor receipts, and other financial transactions. We'll let you know when funds become available, so you can invest in your projects and support your community.

  • Outsourcing your bookkeeping to us doesn't mean you lose control over your finances. Our team manages the numbers, allowing you to concentrate on the heart of your ministry. We provide reports on a weekly, monthly, or any schedule you prefer. Plus, you can reach out to your dedicated advisor anytime with questions or concerns. We offer complete flexibility to match your desired level of involvement.

  • Hiring a full-time bookkeeper can be both time-consuming and costly. Managing incoming donations, funds, vendor invoices, and bills can take up a lot of your time, even for smaller faith-based organizations. By outsourcing to Trusted Account Partners, you can let someone else handle the daily accounting, compliance research, and other tasks, giving you more freedom to focus on your calling.

  • With your tax-exempt status, the IRS takes a close look at your financials, making compliance a bit tricky, especially with ever-changing tax rules. Our bookkeepers are well-versed in the latest tax codes and work diligently to keep you compliant. We also maintain thorough financial records to ensure you're ready for any questions or scrutiny.

  • With decades of experience working alongside churches and their leaders, we truly understand your needs. We're well-versed in the financial regulations, tax codes, and requirements specific to your sector and continuously update our knowledge to include the latest changes and best practices.

  • We tailor our services to fit your ministry, rather than providing one-size-fits-all solutions. Our offerings can grow with your organization and are flexible to meet your needs, whether you need continuous bookkeeping or occasional audit and assurance services.
