As you probably know, deacons are often put in charge of managing the church budget…
This means you may also sometimes find yourself needing to answer accounting questions. Or possibly implementing accounting-based policies.
I have been in this position recently. I needed some information regarding reimbursable church expense plans.
I discovered this website that I want to share with you because it has been very helpful to me in my duties as a deacon:
It is operated by an accountant who runs her own bookkeeping service and specializes in churches and non-profit organizations.
There is an abundance of information available on her site. She also offers cheap eBook packages that, if the content isn’t available in a free article, probably at least touch on what you’re looking for.
One of her eBooks contained the answers I was looking for.
If you have church accounting questions or have been asked to get involved, go to her site and look around. You can learn a great deal and increase your service to your church.
It is wise to consult with an accountant, however, before choosing to implement any changes.
