Need To Know Some Basic Church Accounting Concepts?

Are the Accounting Books You Have Been Reading Just Confusing You Even More?


Dear Church Treasurer or Secretary,

Whether your accounting system is computer-based or paper, knowing the principles of basic church accounting is essential.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or even stressed with the financial responsibility of managing your church’s accounting records...

...Basic Church Accounting can give you the knowledge to perform your church work with confidence.

Many church treasurers or financial secretaries are appointed because they are organized, and/or dependable or just because they have a heart to work for God.

Suddenly they are thrown into unfamiliar territory with no road map. They buy basic accounting books and now are more confused than ever.

That is because most accounting books are geared toward profit-oriented businesses and churches use a different accounting system.

Here is what a business teacher said about this eBook:

I am a high school business teacher and have been approached by a church secretary to help her with a few accounting issues that she is having at her church. I teach beginning and advance accounting and realized that double entry accounting is quite different from church accounting. I purchased your book and downloaded your spreadsheets. They are wonderful and accurate reading from the accounting point of view.

Thanks,

W. SPLEEN

Here are some examples of the common basic church accounting questions I am asked by church staff and volunteers:

    simply accounting

  • I bought office supplies and a filing cabinet at the office supply store with the church's credit card. How do I record this transaction?

  • My church borrowed money for a new church sign. How do I record the complete transaction?

  • I made an error in recording a church business transaction in our church account and did not discover it until a month later. How do I correct this error?

  • I need to transfer funds from one fund to another. Is this legal? How would I record it?


Basic Church Accounting explains exactly what debits and credits are and gives examples on how to enter everyday church business transactions and correct errors in your church accounts.

This 34-page eBook also includes:

  • Explanations and Examples of Church Financial Statements;
  • Explanations and Examples of a Church Chart of Accounts;
  • Explains the Difference between Single and Double Entry Bookkeeping; and
  • A Cheat Sheet to Assist in Recording Debits and Credits.


Here is what one church treasurer said about this eBook:

Hi Vickey,
As you mention, church accounting is different. I am an Accountant by trade and I find all the information you provide, with regards to handling the books of the church, very very useful.

So, thanks again

Pam Caesar

Thanks Vickey.
Cool stuff.
I just finished reading 'Basic Church Accounting' and it is great for the unskilled.
Our small church is suffering under the burden of a robust church accounting package. I'm assisting the Fin. committee (I'm a former CPA and Systems Implementation consultant - now in Seminary pursuing ministry for a second career). As you know, for volunteers who aren't accounting oriented such a robust system can drown them. I'm a big fan of simple, especially with small operations.
Thanks for your passion for this area,
Jim from FL
