Which states do you work with?

We work with clients in all 50 states. Because we are a fully virtual firm, your location never limits the tax planning, advisory, or bookkeeping support you can get from us. If you run a business or file taxes anywhere in the U.S., you are eligible to work with us today.

Is an in-person visit required?

No in-person visit is required. We are a virtual firm by design, so the entire relationship, from your first call to document sharing and year-round planning, happens securely online. That means you get a dedicated CPA on your schedule, without the drive, the parking, or the limited office hours of a local firm.

I am a missionary or work overseas. Can you still handle my U.S. taxes and filings?

Yes. We regularly serve U.S. missionaries, overseas workers, and nonprofits that are based in the States but operate around the world. We understand the issues that come with serving abroad, things like the foreign earned income exclusion, housing for missionaries, and keeping your U.S. and overseas obligations straight, and we coordinate it all from one place. No matter where in the world you are serving, you can work with us entirely online and stay fully compliant back home.

How are your engagements priced?

Our engagements are priced as flat, predictable packages, so you will never get a surprise bill or be charged for every phone call. Pricing depends on the complexity of your situation, which is exactly what we map out together on your call. You will get a clear, written quote before you commit to anything. Book a Discovery Call and you will get access to our full pricing page right away.

Can you handle my personal, business, and ministry taxes together?

Yes. We bring your personal taxes, your business, and your ministry under one roof, with one team that already understands how all three connect. Instead of one person for your return, another for the books, and a separate accountant who does not understand church and ministry rules, you get a single firm that sees the full picture and plans across all of it. That means fewer handoffs, no conflicting advice, and a strategy where every piece is working together.

How do you protect my information?

Protecting your information is something we take seriously. As a fully virtual firm, security is built into how we operate, so your personal, business, and ministry records are shared and stored through encrypted, secure systems, never loose email attachments or unprotected files. You stay in control of your documents, and we treat the sensitive details of your finances and your ministry with the confidentiality they deserve. When you are ready, book your call below and we will walk you through exactly how it works.

Does a Christian school have to file a tax return?

Most Christian schools are tax-exempt nonprofits and file an annual information return such as Form 990 rather than an income tax return, and some may even be exempt from the Form 990 filing. We can help determine your filing obligation and prepare what is required so your academy stays compliant and your exempt status stays protected.

Can you handle our teacher and staff payroll?

Yes. We set up and run payroll for faculty, administrators, and support staff, handle proper classification for coaches and contractors, and take care of quarterly filings, W-2s, and 1099s so nothing slips through the cracks.

Do you work with new schools as well as established academies?

Yes, whether you are a small startup or classical Christian school in its first few years or a large established K-12 academy, we build systems that match your size and stage and grow with you.

Can you reconcile our tuition management platform, like FACTS?

Yes. We reconcile tuition, fees, and assistance from FACTS and similar tuition-management systems against your books so your enrollment revenue is accurate and your board reporting is clean.

We are a ministry of a church. Can you serve both?

Yes, and that is one of the biggest advantages of working with us. Many faith-based schools share staff, facilities, and funds with a parent church. We can coordinate both sides so each organization stays clean and compliant.

Christian Nonprofits & Ministries

Bookkeeping, payroll, and 501(c)(3) compliance for faith-based nonprofits and ministries, handled with diligence and care.

Your organization exists for a calling, not a bottom line. We carry the financial side of that mission well, so your team can keep its eyes on the people you are called to serve.

We Understand Both the Mission and the Money

Most accountants can read a financial statement. Few understand the world of a faith-based organization, where donations, grants, restricted gifts, and a payroll full of mission-driven staff all have to be tracked cleanly and reported to a board and to donors who trust you. We sit at the intersection of sound accounting and faithful stewardship, and we treat your ministry's finances as the sacred trust they are.

Whether you are a brand-new parachurch ministry running on a shoestring and a handful of volunteers or an established Christian nonprofit with multiple programs and a growing donor base, we meet you where you are and grow alongside you.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”

Proverbs 22:6

Tax-Exempt Does Not Mean the Numbers Take Care of Themselves

Most Christian ministries operate as tax-exempt nonprofits, and that leads many leaders to assume the financial side is simple. The reality is that a faith-based organization makes decisions every month that carry real compliance weight, both for the ministry and for the donors, staff, and people it serves.

How you receipt and record donations determines whether your supporters can deduct their giving and whether your records hold up.
How you track restricted gifts, building funds, and designated giving decides whether you are honoring donor intent and reporting it correctly.
How you classify and pay ministry staff, missionaries, and contractors determines whether the organization owes payroll taxes and penalties.
Unrelated business income from a thrift store, coffee shop, conference, or rented facility can create a filing obligation even for an exempt ministry.
How you steward your 501(c)(3) status protects the donor confidence your organization depends on.

There is a smarter way to take care of the people who carry your mission

There are entirely legitimate, tax-advantaged ways to compensate ministry staff and missionaries, from accountable reimbursement plans to the right benefits structure to clean handling of stipends and support-based pay where they apply. Done well, the same dollar goes further for your team and costs the ministry less in avoidable tax. We help you set these up correctly and keep them clean.

One Firm for the Ministry and the Church Behind It

Many faith-based organizations began as an outreach of a local church and remain connected to it. When that is true, the ministry's finances and the church's finances tend to overlap in ways most general accountants miss. We can serve both sides under one roof so the church, the ministry, and the shared mission all move in the same direction.

That means fewer handoffs, fewer blind spots, and a clearer path forward.

Why this matters

A church-affiliated ministry often shares staff, facilities, and funds with its parent church. Coordinated accounting keeps both organizations clean and protects each one's standing.
