"A budget is a mirror, and the mirror is going to tell you how well the diet is working, and how well you’re connecting your vision and mission to the operations of your church or ministry."

Your church uses cash basis. Your bank wants accrual. Now what?

Cash basis makes sense for day-to-day ministry reporting. It shows what came in, what went out, and what’s in the bank. But lenders may want to see what you owe and what you’ve earned, even if the cash hasn’t moved yet.

The good news? You don’t necessarily have to change your books. ChurchBiz can prepare an accrual view for your lender while your team keeps the cash basis reports they’re used to.

Need bank-ready financials? ChurchBiz can help.

An audit doesn’t tell you everything about your church’s financial health.

An audit tells you whether your financial statements are materially correct. It doesn’t test your internal controls or look specifically for fraud. That’s where an internal controls review or fraud risk assessment can help. Not sure what your church actually needs?
ChurchBiz can help you figure it out.

October is when budget conversations get serious.

Most churches move into real budget work this month. Before you start building the numbers, make sure you have the right baseline: giving trends, budget vs. actuals YTD, and staff compensation benchmarks. The Hub has templates that can help!
