Questions your fellow bookkeepers asked before grabbing their access
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the things I'm going to need to learn and execute inside this
program. Are you sure I can do this?
I totally understand your hesitation. Learning something new can seem overwhelming at first. The fact that you are here, shows that you CAN in fact do this because you desire to do the best job possible. Don't let your doubts keep you from learning new things. You're NEVER too old (or young) to learn something new!
Do I need existing bookkeeping skills to complete this course?
Absolutely not! This course will help teach you the basics and give you a good understanding of foundational church bookkeeping and what you need to know to do your job with confidence.
I'm fairly new to church bookkeeping. Is this going to be too advanced for me?
Not at all! We will be building upon what you already know. I have found that you just don't know what you don't know until you are taught differently. So regardless of your experience level, I am confident that you will learn something new in this course.
How much time and effort do I need to invest to complete this course?
You can complete all course modules within 30 days. The time it takes you to create and implement processes we teach you will depend on each individual church and their needs.
Do I get the full course all at once?

You should give Intro to Church Finances a 7-day risk-free shot if you're motivated by any of the following:
01
You want peace of mind.
There's nothing like laying in bed at night and retracing all the steps from your work day when you just really want to go to sleep... worrying if you forgot to do something that had a deadline, or wondering if you even did something correctly. You so desperately want a good night's sleep and not have to worry about work. I have "been there, done that" WAY more nights than I like to admit. I have found out how to stop that vicious cycle and you can too: by eliminating the guess-work on your financial duties and knowing in your "knower" that the job has been done and done well.
02
You're not afraid of spending the money when you realize the value of your investment.
By now, you know that you get what you pay for. When money is tight, you want to "buckle down" and only spend on necessities so you can try and save for later. However, you also realize that sometimes you NEED to spend the money necessary to learn what you didn't even know you needed to learn in order to protect those you love... and that includes the church. When you take the step of faith and invest in your skills, as well as the financial health of your church, it's a win-win for all!
03
You realize that things are always changing and you need to keep up to protect your church.
There is ALWAYS something new to learn... regardless of age or years of experience. Did you realize the US Tax Code is updated more often than your cell phone operating system? Gaining up-to-date training is the best thing you can do for yourself, and your church.
