A bookkeeping firm that still thinks like a church member.
Bellwether Church Solutions exists to come alongside churches and nonprofits with the tools, people and processes that lighten their administrative load and protect what has been entrusted to them.
“ We exist to help church and nonprofit leaders focus on their mission with trusted books.”
— Lee Ann Crockett, Retired CPA, BellwetherLeading the way so churches can follow with confidence.
Bellwether exists to help churches and nonprofits meet their administrative needs with professional bookkeeping and proven processes that safeguard their resources and simplify their leaders’ lives. We envision a day when every congregation, from a house church of 20 to a campus of thousands, has books it can trust and leaders free to shepherd instead of shuffling receipts. Like a bellwether, we aim to lead the way so others can follow with confidence.
Devotion
We put God first. The work we do is technical, but the purpose behind it is not. Every report is a way of serving the Church and honoring the One who entrusted these resources to it.
Integrity
We tell the truth, even when the numbers are uncomfortable. We report what is actually there, not what anyone hopes to see.
Excellence
Timely, relevant, accurate and complete: that is the standard for every report we deliver. Good enough is never the goal when a ministry depends on the numbers.
Stewardship
These are not our funds, and we treat them that way. Every dollar given to a church is an act of worship, and we handle it with that weight in mind.

Common questions about Bellwether Church Solutions.
What’s the best accounting software for a small church?
For most small churches on a cash basis, we recommend Xero (through GoodBooks). Larger churches that want a bookkeeper on the file do well with QuickBooks Online through our full-service plan.
Do we keep control of our church’s money and data?
Yes. The church owns its data, approves all payments, and has 24/7 access to its books. You can export your data anytime.
Do you prepare year-end contribution statements?
Yes. Full-service clients receive annual donor contribution statements and 1099 vendor reporting.
Do you work with churches outside your area?
Yes. Our bookkeeping is fully virtual, so we serve churches and nonprofits across the U.S.
Do you also serve nonprofits?
Yes. Our processes fit ministries, associations and other faith-based nonprofits, not only churches.
