If you reconcile your bank and card statements with your accounting, you can identify errors like duplicates, missing transactions or bank errors on rare occasions.
Church bookkeepers have for a long time been confused with accountants. They, however, carry very different responsibilities. Bookkeepers maintain the financial records of the church that includes income and expense records. They are supposed to keep records of the dates and amount of every transaction of the church. It is also their task to keep track of all accounts and are the ones who verify the accuracy of the procedures used in the accounting processes. Accountants, on the other hand, perform all the tasks of bookkeepers and also provide auditing, tax planning, financial planning, payroll processing, and consulting services.
This is the ideal time to utilize our church bookkeeping services in order to ensure that all financial records and policies are correctly set up. Because you may only have one person to do your bookkeeping, outsourcing your bookkeeping allows you to concentrate on the growth of 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.
