    “When our church bookkeeper retired, we had no in-house expertise in the area of church finances. We decided to outsource this responsibility and found Be Missional Finance. The transition and process was so simple that we were able to utilize volunteers to coordinate and manage the day-to-day. Because Be Missional Finance does a great job taking care of our payroll, tax records, and compliance issues our church staff can spend more of their time focused on their ministry areas. Be Missional Finance has been more of a partner in ministry, keeping our financial records accurate and reporting always on time!”

    “I could not do my job the way I do it without Be Missional Finance. We were looking for a cost-effective way to have our bookkeeping needs met so that we didn’t have to hire a full-time finance person. Be Missional Finance helped us transition from onsite record-keeping to a remote workflow that works great for our team. Be Missional Finance does accurate, timely work, and has become a valuable part of our remote workforce. On top of that, the entire organization gains an advantage, because the cost of working with a virtual bookkeeper helps control our staffing costs. We will not go back to a traditional bookkeeper.”

    “The first 6 years of running my own business I spent far too much time working in my books, even though I had professional bookkeepers on payroll. I had to constantly correct issues, make adjustments, and fix oversights. It was frustrating having to redo the work I was paying someone else to do. I also had not seen a reliable P&L in 12 months. When I hired BeMissional Finance, they quickly assessed the situation, developed a plan, and set up systems to help me avoid costly issues in the future. It was like I could breathe for the first time since becoming a business owner. Because of BeMissional Finances’ confidence in their abilities and the competence to do the work, I finally have a great view of where my company stands and where we’re going. It’s a great feeling!”

Understanding Non-Profit Accounting & How Be Missional Finance Can Support Your Ministry

November 18, 2024
At Be Missional Finance, we understand that non-profit accounting is a specialized field with unique challenges.

How to Prepare for a Financial Audit in Your Church or Nonprofit

October 11, 2024
Preparing for a financial audit is more than just meeting compliance requirements—it's a valuable opportunity to strengthen your church or nonprofit’s financial practices. An audit can provide key insights, reinforce accountability, and enhance transparency. Here are a few tips to help you prepare: Each year after your audit, begin preparing for the next one! Keep financial documentation organized all year long, both digitally and in paper form, to take off some of the load of the audit preparation process. Evaluate how your church or nonprofit handles donations, expense approvals, and cash management. Strong internal controls demonstrate secure financial processes, which auditors will review during fieldwork. Address any potential obstacles beforehand to ensure a smooth audit experience. Effective communication is crucial—both internally with your staff to gather necessary information and with your auditor to prevent any unnecessary delays. Be sure to designate an individual or team as the primary organizer of the audit to ensure clear expectations.  Keep a detailed record of any advice or recommendations your auditor provides to ensure your organization is continuously making improvements. At Be Missional Finance, we provide outsourced bookkeeping and accounting solutions tailored to churches and nonprofits. If you need support with your finances, contact us today to learn how we can take the financial load off your team so you focus on your mission.
