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
Ministry Finance Teams (MFTeams)
of preferably
Christ-Centered Entities, or Ministries. Many of you reference
such a body as the
Board Finance Committee, but we prefer to use the term
"Ministry Finance Team"
which minimally consists of
the Ministry Executive, the
Computer Bookkeeper, the Volunteer Board Treasurer,
plus, ideally, one/two other Ministry finance savvy people.
We want to provide assistance
to Non-Profit Organizations - NPOs,
but especially to you Christ-Centered Entities.
Examples include:
Churches,
Christian Schools
(plus their auxiliaries - such as Parent Teacher Organization -
PTO), Missionary
Organizations, and Christian Camps/Conferences.
It is our desire to help them meet their goals as
mentioned
Here. We also provide a few resources to individuals in their pursuit of
Righteous
Personal Finance.
This is done primarily by providing "self help"
Online resources, which includes making available what we
call Onliner Documents as set forth
Here. But, we are also available
to efficiently interact
with you. Please Click Here
for a list of "how we help"
information, or let us know if you would like a
specific Onliner
Document
in
the Word doc
format.
Please contact
Jim@bcidot.org if you have
any questions about possible cost reimbursements, 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"
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 you go Online each week and electronically move
Bank and Credit Card transaction data to your computerized
accounting system that provides you with group
"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.
When you
Go Here
you will find more resources about QBs
as used by Ministries. Then please
Go Here
where we share how we coach a Ministry along these lines.
ONLINER DOCUMENTS:
Please
Click Here ,
Here and
Here for access to lists
of Onliner Documents, or articles, that we have produced since
2008. Some of them are grouped as follows:
Please also note that JIMs JRNL is a Blogger type Journal/Diary

Jim Bramer
on primarily Ministry Finance
topics. Please go to JRNL

that includes access to a "search" resource as to certain topics covered within JIMs JRNL. To receive this monthly, please
Go Here and sign up.
LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES :
Please go to
"Jesus Savior Pilot Me"
and access a sister web site re the above
referenced
"Spending Controls" with a
thrust to mostly those that are
“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"
tools.
Please also make appropriate use of Brad Pendable's Nest of Bees
website. Brad's "Insider Looking Out"
CPA 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
“Ministry
Finance Internet Friendly”
.
Please also
Go Here
for access to generic "Ministry Finance Team"
web site
links plus you can
also
Go Here
for a list of
"Ministry Finance" links that include
Internet Forum resources and a section about
DonaMail, or Donation accounting
software providers.
We trust you are using Internet
Groups, Forums, or Message
Boards, to learn from one another
via such "peer to peer" Onliner
communities.
It is our desire to
enhance your effectiveness and be
"Your Servant for
Jesus Sake:"
Thank you.
