The best financial decisions happen when strategy meets the mission. As a CPA who currently serves churches across the country, I help you bridge the gap between your bookkeeping and your long-term goals. I provide the systems and reporting rhythms your board needs to trust the numbers and pursue the future.
Free, about 3 minutes, no sales pitch. A clear read on where your church really stands.
A fractional church CFO gives you senior financial leadership part time. Your bookkeeper records what happened and your auditor checks it. A CFO helps you understand what it means, what is at risk, and what to decide next, plus the systems, reporting rhythms, and the right people to support it, without the cost of a full time hire.
Three patterns show up in almost every growing church we help. None of them mean you failed. All of them are fixable.
Your leaders spend hours trying to make sense of financial reports instead of leading. Every report seems to raise more questions than it answers.
Big calls on buildings, staffing, and debt get made on gut feel, because no one fully trusts what the numbers are actually saying.
Giving, payroll, accounting, and approvals each live in their own corner, so nothing reconciles and no one holds the full picture.
You are not alone if your church finances feel messy. I fix that. After nearly two decades in the church CFO chair, I can tell you it is more common than anyone admits from the platform. The good news is simple. It is fixable, and clarity is closer than you think.
A proven sequence refined inside a real, growing church. We start wherever you are and build from there.
Get a clear, honest picture of where you truly stand, restore trust in the numbers, and steady the foundation.
Install the right tools and reporting rhythms so your finances run smoothly without heroics every month.
Guide growth with clear metrics, the right staff structure, and strategies that stay sustainable as you grow.
Future proof the mission with long term planning, healthy reserves, and board and staff financial training.
You probably have plenty of financial reports already. The hard part is knowing what they mean and what to do next. In about three minutes, the Clarity Check shows you where your church stands and what to focus on first.
“I use numbers combined with business knowledge to change lives by the grace of God.”
Most accountants do not understand the weight of donor trust. Most pastors did not train to read a balance sheet. Tim speaks both languages, and he has been doing it inside a real, growing church for nearly two decades.

Book a free call →A bookkeeper records what already happened. A fractional CFO helps you decide what happens next: reserves, debt strategy, staffing, and board reporting. Most churches benefit once their budget passes about $2M, when financial decisions carry real weight but a full time CFO is not yet justified.
Commonly cited guidance is roughly three to six months of operating expenses. The right target depends on your giving patterns, debt, and seasonality. A reserve strategy turns the worry of one bad month into the freedom to say yes to the mission.
You get senior financial leadership part time: CFO level judgment on what your numbers mean and what to decide next, healthy reserves and debt strategy, board ready reporting rhythms, and the right systems and people in place, without the cost of a full time hire. The bookkeeping and the audit stay with your bookkeeper and auditor.
Yes. Tim is based in Columbia, Maryland and serves churches nationwide, remotely. Cloud accounting gives you and your board full visibility from anywhere.
Tim focuses on churches in the $2M to $10M range. That is where decisions get complex enough to need a CFO, but a full time hire is hard to justify. If you are near that range, the free call will tell you quickly whether it is a fit.
