PURPOSE
OR MISSION
STATEMENT :
As would a
fully funded and supported Missionary with applicable vocational skills,
Retired Auditor-CPA Jim Bramer
(also known as Jim Bee)
at Jim@bcidot.org provides
resources, primarily via the Internet, to
Christian Ministry Finance Teams (MFTeams)
of preferably
Christ-Centered Ministries, as identified below. Many of you reference
such a body as the
Board Finance Committee, but we prefer the
"Ministry Finance Team"
term
which minimally consists of
the Ministry Executive, the
Computer Bookkeeper, the Volunteer Board Treasurer ,
plus, ideally, one/two other Ministry Finance savvy people.
It is our desire to help this group
meet their goals as
enumerated when you
Go Here.
We especially want to provide assistance
to the following
Christ-Centered Ministries:
Churches,
Christian Schools
(plus their auxiliaries like Parent
Teacher Organizations -
PTO), Missionary
Organizations, and Christian Camps or such Conference
Ministries.
We also have resources for individuals in their pursuit of
Righteous
Personal Finance.
This is done primarily by providing "self help"
Online Tools, or resources, which includes making available what we
call Onliner Documents as set forth
Here. But, we are also available
to efficiently interact
with you via a number of Online resources. Please Click Here
for a list of "how we help"
information, or let me know at
Jim@bcidot.org
if you would like a
specific Onliner
Document
in
the Word doc
format . Please let me know if you have
any questions about covering the costs of our providing you with
such services when we go to your location - or related
issues.
FUND
ACCOUNTING via COMPUTERS
Our foundational Online Document on
the subject of "Ministry Fund Accounting" is found
when you
Click Here .
This whole effort especially includes the use of applicable Computer Systems, and the Internet, as
a Ministry utilizes the appropriate "Ministry Finance
Internet Friendly" Online Tools
and
resources
in its management and dissemination of meaningful
""Every Day" Internal and "Year
End Only" External - Generally Accepted Financial
Principles - GAAP" financial
information. Please also go to
eFinFax
and learn about this accounting
system whereby each week you have Online access to
Bank and Credit Card transaction data as you update your computerized
accounting system that provides you with meaningful
"Spending Controls" as explained more in depth when you
Go Here.
We have closely followed
the
Intuit's QuickBooks Pro (QBs)
products since their beginning and believe
they are tremendous
tools. Please
Click Here and read our
foundational "Fund Accounting via QBs"
Online document plus please also
Click
Here and access our recent
WebBOOK
about the use of QBs at a Church.
When you
Go Here
you will find more resources about QBs
as used by Christian Ministries. Then please
Go Here
where we share how we coach such an entity along these lines.
The QBunch Yahoo Forum
when you
Go Here
might also be of interest.
ONLINER DOCUMENTS:

of Onliner Documents, or articles, that we have produced since

topics. Please

LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES :
Please go to
"Jesus Savior Pilot Me"
for access to a sister web site re the above
referenced
"Spending Controls" with a
thrust to mostly those that are
�Christian
Ministry
Finance Internet Friendly�
(or Internet Centric).
It is especially designed to assist Christian Entities along these lines via the appropriate use
of the indicated
"Chart" and "Compass"
Online Tools.
Please also make appropriate use of Brad Pendable's Nest of Bees
web site. Brad's "Insider Looking Out"
CFO perspective
is different than
Jim
Bee's Auditor-CPA perspective of a "Outsider Looking In."
This Nest of Bees website contains finance management resources for
primarily new or beginning
Smaller Christ-Centered Entities who also are
�Christian
Ministry
Finance Internet Friendly�
and use Online Tools.
Please also
Go Here
for access to generic "Christian
Ministry Finance Team"
web site
links. Plus you can
also
Go Here
for a list of
"Christian Ministry Finance" links that include
Internet Forum resources and a section about
DonaMail, or Donation accounting
software providers. Our prayer is that
you are using Internet
Groups, Forums, or Message
Boards, to learn from one another
via such "peer to peer" Christian Onliner
communities.
It is our desire to
enhance your effectiveness and be
"Your Servant for
Jesus Sake:"
Thank you.
