Church and Faith-Based Accounting and Tax

Southwest Colorado church accounting

Today, churches, synagogues, and faith-based organizations of all sizes face a new era of accountability, regulation and scrutiny as never seen before. It's critical that religious and faith-based organizations get the expertise and guidance of a CPA firm that's experienced in church accounting.
