Bookkeeping for churches and religious organizations
Clean books for collections, designated gifts and the building fund — and donation receipts your members can count on.
In short Places of worship are usually registered charities, which means a T3010 every year, donation receipts that must be exactly right, and money that arrives in many forms — weekly collections, designated gifts, a building fund. We keep it all straight by fund.
What we handle for congregations
- Fund accounting — general, building, missions and designated gifts tracked separately, the way your council expects to see them.
- Donation receipts — compliant official receipts for members’ offerings, with advantages handled when a fundraiser gives something back. See our receipting guide.
- The T3010 — prepared or coordinated so your charitable status is never at risk. See the T3010 guide.
- Québec filings — the CO-17.SP and the REQ annual update, tracked alongside.
- Payroll for clergy and staff, with RL-1 and T4 slips.
A place of worship is a registered charity under one of the CRA’s charitable categories — the advancement of religion. If you’re weighing registration or not sure of your status, read charity vs. NPO. Plans start at $350/month; book a free call.
FAQ
Do you handle weekly collections and designated gifts?
Yes. We track each fund separately — general, building, missions — so designated gifts are used and reported the way donors intended.
Can you prepare our T3010?
Yes. We keep the books so the T3010 is ready at year-end, and we prepare or coordinate the filing within the six-month deadline.
