Church business management.
More time for your ministry.
Payroll to run. Bills to pay. A budget to keep on track. TaxGuard handles the day-to-day financial and administrative work so it doesn't all fall on your pastor, staff, or volunteers.

Remote service. Clear responsibilities. Support throughout the year.
For churches only
Church business management.
Practical help beyond bookkeeping.
Keep the recurring work moving, give your board a clear picture, and put a workable routine in place. We agree on the responsibilities your church needs us to handle.
Compliance support
Help keep routine financial and administrative requirements, filing deadlines, and supporting records organized. We define the compliance work covered and flag matters that need specialist advice.
Budgeting support
Help build a practical budget, compare actual income and spending with the plan, and bring differences to your leadership's attention.
Finance processes
Set up clear routines for receipts, purchase approvals, bill payments, and monthly reporting, so everyone knows what to provide and who approves each step.
Simple board reports
Give your board an easy-to-follow view of income, spending, cash, and fund balances, with plain-language explanations of the items that need attention.
Vendors & accounts payable
Keep vendor records and invoices organized, follow up on billing questions, and manage due dates and payments through your church's approval process.
Your church keeps spending approvals, governance, and final decisions. We agree on the responsibilities, level of support, and fees before work begins.
Discuss your church's needsFor churches & nonprofits
Fund bookkeeping and reports your leadership can use.
Need accounting support without business management? We also offer a consistent bookkeeping routine, built around your organization's funds and reporting needs.
Fund accounting
Giving and fund records
Record giving, other income, expenses, and transfers by account and fund. Keep donor-restricted gifts and board-designated amounts identifiable using your supporting records, so leadership can review activity and balances by purpose.
Check the balances
Bank reconciliation
Compare the books with bank statements, review differences, and ask about missing or unclear transactions. Reconciliation gives your monthly reports a foundation in the records behind the numbers.
Make the numbers useful
Leadership reports
Review income, expenses, fund activity, and account balances with reports prepared for your board, finance committee, or leadership team. We'll agree on the reporting scope and schedule at the start.
A practical fit for your team
Bookkeeping doesn't have to rest on one busy volunteer.
Ongoing support is a good fit when your treasurer, staff, or volunteers need help keeping records current, following fund activity, or preparing for leadership meetings.
TaxGuard handles the agreed bookkeeping work. Your organization keeps responsibility for spending approvals, gift acceptance, and financial decisions.
What your team provides
Bank statements, giving records, receipts, and relevant gift instructions or board decisions, plus a contact who can answer questions about the activity.
We’ll explain how to share records and stay in touch.
Getting started

Before we begin
Questions before we begin.
Do you work with both churches and nonprofits?
Yes. TaxGuard provides remote bookkeeping and accounting support for churches and nonprofits across the United States. Business management is offered exclusively to churches.
What does church business management include?
It goes beyond recording transactions. Depending on your agreed scope, we handle payroll, compliance support, budgeting, finance processes, simple board reports, vendor coordination, and accounts payable. Your church keeps control of spending approvals and final decisions.
Can we track gifts and board-designated funds separately?
Yes. Donor restrictions and board designations are different. We use your gift documentation and board decisions to keep fund-purpose records clear, and ask your team to resolve unclear instructions.
Can you help if we're behind or changing bookkeepers?
Yes. We'll review the available records and agree on a handoff plan. Catch-up or cleanup work is scoped and quoted separately from ongoing bookkeeping.
Does bookkeeping replace an independent audit?
No. Bookkeeping and leadership reporting are not an independent audit. We'll agree on the bookkeeping work and responsibilities before the engagement begins.
