"Every church needs a partner like Two Roads.”

TR church need TR?We loved hearing this comment from one of our local church partners! When our partners are happy, we know we are doing things right for them. Here's another one: “With Two Roads, we are in a better position financially and our books are air tight. We couldn't be happier.” When I read this comment, I was thrilled. We serve a large network of churches of all sizes and in similar words, these remarks are exactly what we hear on a regular basis from our church partners. Here’s a secret: This church leader knew he needed help. He didn’t think he could afford our service, but he knew he needed help. He’d outlived what the bookkeeping volunteer at his church could provide and he wasn’t sure their finances were being handled right. We talked and agreed it made sense to meet and talk further about his questions and fears about church finances. He would say this turned out to be one of the best decisions he’s made for his church yet. One local church leader had this to say: “Our financial books are [now] aligned with the vision of our church and we’re able to focus on what we are most passionate about.” Isn’t that awesome? Because they’ve hired us to take on the bookkeeping load, this church is now able to focus on what they love to do, serve their community. What a blessing to hear! Unfortunately, in most churches, especially small churches, there are limited people and resources. Typically a few people are loaded down with most of the work, but those people are probably not bookkeepers either. Churches tend to be light on staff and the most administrative person is typically doing the bookkeeping---a responsibility they may not be well trained to do. Bookkeeping is often an after thought. Still, most churches do try to keep their own books. Why? Honestly, it is truly because they’ve always done it that way and they figure that’s what most churches do. They do want to be good stewards of their resources and of the contributions given. Pastors really do want and need to make sure that the accounting side of the finances are above reproach. After all, every church and pastor is financially accountable. It’s just that most churches and church leadership just aren’t equipped to do their own bookkeeping. Is it time for your church to get help from experts who care about the success of your church? Here’s some good news: At Two Roads, bookkeeping is what we do. It’s all we do and we’re good at it. And we are passionate about helping churches succeed. It's tough enough to start a church and keep it going. If we can help support the financial side of the church, churches stand a much better chance of survival and that makes us happy. Maybe you have found yourself asking some of these questions:
  • How do I know how well my church is doing financially?
  • Are we going to make it?
  • Who else is looking at my ‘books’ to tell me if we’re doing ok?
  • Can I answer the financial questions of my congregation?
  • Are my expenses out of line?
  • Am I paying my staff too little/too much?
  • How do I plan for the future?
  • When can I hire?
One of our church partners said this: “We wanted an objective expert to help record the church's finances and provide input to make sure we're good stewards of God's money. Two Roads gives us the peace of mind we needed without having to hire a full-time staff member. Every church needs a partner like Two Roads.” Is it time for you to have peace of mind about your church’s finances?
