Many churches and charities are struggling to get by on limited funds. Nonprofits will save valuable time, stress, resources, and money by outsourcing their financial operations. Spending time on finances as the head of your non-profit is time that could have been spent helping others, growing your donor base and expanding your organization.
All organizations should follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), using an accrual basis to record income and expenses when they are earned and incurred. However, many churches use a cash basis—recording income and expenses when they are received and paid—or a combination of both approaches.
Common Church Budget Categories
Personnel (salaries, benefits, etc.)
Administration (operating expenses)
Facilities and Equipment (utilities, insurance on property, maintenance)
Outreach (missions, evangelism, social events, etc.)
