Your Ministry is Our Mission

We are building a community of church leaders across North America who can learn from each other to better serve their community and congregants. Growing across multiple campuses and adding new programs puts a strain on the limits of most accounting software. With Baker Tilly you gain the finance and accounting software capabilities to have a deeper insight into your financial health as a Ministry. 

With Baker Tilly, finance teams get the accounting automation software and experienced guidance designed for churches and faith-based organizations of all denominations. You receive the financial controls and efficiency you need to help fulfill your mission and strengthen your stewardship. While technology has automated many accounting tasks, you want software solutions that go beyond automation to provide accurate and timely data, metrics, intelligence and insights that more precisely reflect the health and growth of your Church, its congregation and community.

Baker Tilly provides its accounting and finance solution built directly on the Sage Intacct enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, providing your Church with: 

1. Intelligence ― Real-time financial and operational metrics to inform strategic and operational decision-making. 
2. Automation ― Eliminate manual effort in day-to-day business processes, freeing up time for more strategic activities.
3. Integration ― Systems interoperability streamlines business processes and provides consistent data across systems.

With Baker Tilly, senior leaders can remove themselves from the day-to-day tasks and focus on higher-value activities. Baker Tilly also enables churches to reduce risk by offering the implementation and professional services needed to maximize the value of Sage Intacct cloud financial software.

With Baker Tilly's church outsourced accounting solution, you get best-in-class technology with a highly skilled faith-based consulting staff to deliver the results you need when you need them. Our outsourced accounting service provides a full accounting department that handles day-to-day activities that would traditionally be managed internally. With Baker Tilly, you get solutions to senior Church leaders’ accounting challenges without the hassle of hiring staff, keeping up to date on the latest accounting standards and being worried about internal controls. 

The advantages of outsourcing your Church’s accounting processes are limitless. Outsourcing saves you and your finance team time, provides quicker access to financials, enables stability and scalability, and brings the right people to ask the right questions as well as provide answers.

Your congregants, donors, volunteers, employees and community need to see success to support and sustain the vision and mission of your organization. We are a community and a team. Being so lets us collaborate to ensure your financial goals are married to your visionary goals. 

Key benefits of Baker Tilly’s Church outsourced accounting solution include:

• Superior insights into mission success with real-time dashboards
• More engaged program leaders, with the data to make better decisions
• Easy access to your budget and other key financials
• Time freed up from running an accounting function
• More bandwidth for financial analyses and other high-value, strategic activities
• Stability, since you don’t have to worry about employee turnover

By utilizing the right financial tools, you can present your financial data in a way that tells your unique story, demonstrates your impact  and accelerates your mission.

There are certain financial measures church leaders want to understand the short- and long-term financial health of a Ministry and its progress toward its mission. Often, however, these measurements can be labor-intensive to produce because the financial and non-financial source data lives in different systems, such as the church management system, the donor system and even Excel spreadsheets.

Church finance leaders must also be able to communicate to Church leaders and donors in a simple way: 

1. How well programs and projects are achieving their purpose
2. Which programs and activities are delivering the expected impact, and which are not ⎯ and thus require additional analysis and modification
3. How donor behavior at the individual and aggregate levels impact ministry financial health
