Church and Ministry Teams
Managing church finances is a vital part of healthy ministry — but it’s not always straightforward.
There can be a lot happening in the background — more than people may realise.
From payroll and keeping accounts up to date to ATO requirements, designated funds, and reporting for the board or congregation — it can quickly add up.
Perhaps you can relate to some of these areas where churches may find themselves struggling:
Imagine what that could mean:
- The people involved may have changed, leaving gaps in experience or availability
- ATO and payroll requirements aren’t always clear
- Minister reimbursements or allowances can feel confusing
- Reports don’t seem to reflect the real-life picture
- Systems have grown around people and habit, rather than what’s easiest or most effective
- It’s hard to see whether the church is financially steady — or where things might need attention
- Historical issues or backlogs feel overwhelming to try and untangle
- There’s a quiet sense that things could be clearer or more consistent, but it’s hard to know where to begin
At Exdia, we walk alongside churches to help bring clarity, care, and confidence to the way finances are managed.
We understand the unique nature of church bookkeeping — the rhythm of ministry life, the weight of responsibility, the importance of good stewardship, and the value of trust.
Whether you’re a small church plant or a large multi-site ministry, our role is to support and strengthen your systems and team in ways that are practical, respectful, and tailored to your needs.
Some churches may ask us to take care of everything — from reconciliations and payroll to reports and compliance. Others may prefer to keep some tasks in-house, and just need a hand with more complex areas. Either way, we’ll work gently with where things are at and help build from there.
