A Partner Who Understands Church Life
Spend more time making a difference in your community
At Finance Box, we understand that managing a church involves more than spiritual leadership; it requires diligent financial stewardship. Our specialised accounting services are designed to support church organisations in optimising their financial operations, allowing you to focus on your ministry and community outreach.
We’re fluent in the unique quirks of church finance — PCCs, tithes, hall hire, restricted funds, clergy stipends, gift aid, building projects — so we won’t need a crash course in how your church works. What we offer is straightforward financial care, adapted to your reality.
What Working With Us Feels Like
Always adapting to any issues that arise and ensuring that the job is done right has removed a significant weight off our shoulders.

COO, Home For Good
You won’t be sent complicated spreadsheets with no explanation. You’ll get a clear picture of where your church stands financially, whenever you need it. When it’s time to present to the PCC, we’ll have your reports ready — in language everyone can understand.
Need to chase Gift Aid or file with the Charity Commission? It’s already in hand. Wondering if that outreach project is affordable? We’ll help you forecast and plan for it. Want to make better use of your property income or legacy funds? We’ll guide you through it.
And when it comes to year-end accounts or an independent examination, we make the whole process painless — no last-minute scrambles, no unanswered questions, just a clear and calm approach that keeps your church compliant and confident.
More Than Compliance
Of course we’ll handle the essentials — the bookkeeping, payroll, reports and returns — but what our clients value most is the peace of mind. The sense that someone who gets church life is keeping watch over the finances with the same care and commitment that you give to your people.
That’s what makes us different. We're not just accountants. We're supporters of your ministry, here to lighten the load and bring clarity to your calling.

Let's start the conversation
We’d love to hear more about your church and how we can help. Whether you need full-service support or just want someone to take on the year-end work, we’ll find a solution that fits.
Absolutely. We manage the entire Gift Aid process, from setting up your scheme to submitting regular claims to HMRC. Many churches miss out on this valuable income — we make sure you don’t.
Yes. We prepare year-end accounts that meet the Charities SORP and can act as your Independent Examiner if needed. You’ll get everything ready for submission — on time, with no last-minute surprises.
Yes — church finances come with unique responsibilities, like managing restricted funds, handling Gift Aid, and preparing reports for PCCs or denominational structures. We understand the nuances and can ensure everything is compliant and clearly reported, so you can focus on ministry, not money.
Not at all. The core financial principles are the same, and we tailor our approach to suit your governance structure.
Yes! Whether you have a full finance team or a single volunteer juggling spreadsheets, we can step in and offer as much (or as little) support as you need. We're flexible and happy to work alongside your existing setup.
We use cloud-based accounting systems like Xero, QuickBooks, and Pleo — but you don’t need to be a tech expert. We’ll set it all up for you, provide training where needed, and make sure everything’s simple to access and understand.
