Why Outsource
We used to think that we had to do everything ourselves or have someone on our team to do it. The world is full of organizations that now exist to help leaders do what they need to do: LEAD!
The Church Bookkeeping model is intentionally designed to support and help the church. Here are some of the benefits our clients have told us they received from outsourcing tasks:
Hiring the best for half the cost
When someone outsources to an organization, most of the time they get the expertise they need at a price they can afford. For instance, most of our churches would NOT be able to afford a Chief Financial Officer that helps them strategically navigate the future of funding their vision and mission. Now every church we work with gets HIGH-CAPACITY leaders for less than they can hire a part-time bookkeeper. That lifts the leadership capacity, and influence goes up immediately.
Acquiring a team vs a single person
Outsourcing allows you to hire an entire team of people that work on your behalf. This is a huge benefit because the whole team never goes on vacation at the same time, giving you access 52 weeks a year! There are higher levels of accountability because multiple people are checking the work. The leader has to spend ZERO time training this team because this is what they wake up in the morning thinking about. This frees up the leader to lead and increases their leadership capacity.
You can fire with little internal consequences
Let’s be honest: firing people is never easy. However, from time to time, it has to be done. It is far easier to fire someone for poor job performance that is not internally connected to your organization. Knowing this benefit is true drives us to want to succeed at a higher level. At Church Bookkeeping, we are highly motivated to make our clients raving fans.
Gives the leader energy
We know that most church leaders don’t wake up thinking about how to do better bookkeeping and increase financial leadership. A lot of pastors TRY to do this, but fail because it just drains them, it is not their heart or their gifting. Trying to spend your time doing energy-draining activities COSTS you more than you think. The next level of growth in your organization might come through allowing others to do what they love, so you can do what you love. Bookkeeping and financial leadership is our passion and our gifting. We wake up excited about it! When we take on your burden, your leaders and staff gain tremendous energy because they can live in their sweet spot.
