Since opening my own CPA practice in 1996, I have made it a point to study minister's taxation and church accounting. Because of my involvement in my local church, I have many friends who are either ministers or leaders in their churches. Over the years these friends and clients have consistently asked me the same questions. As time passed, it became clear to me that churches everywhere struggle with these issues. So, I decided to put the questions and answers in book format and offer them nationwide.

My small firm is located in Weatherford TX and I have three part-time staff. I prepare more than 500 individual tax returns per year. Included in that group are more than a dozen pastors and youth ministers. We also offer bookkeeping and payroll services to small businesses and churches in our area.
