Built From Real Experience
Many years ago, I created accounting workbooks to assist our church's secretary. Word spread, and other church treasurers reached out wanting the same tools and guidance.
Even with a seasoned accounting background, I discovered that church accounting was different from commercial accounting. This site was born to share that specialized knowledge — and has grown to over 1,500 pages of content!
