Helping Churches with Bookkeeping and Payroll Since 2008. Led by CPAs. Passionate About Helping Churches.
We Administer So You Can Minister!
OUR STORY
ChurchBiz was founded by Rick Peralez in September 2008 with an initial client base of three newly planted churches. That started our journey to provide outstanding bookkeeping, financial reporting, and payroll services for churches at an affordable price. Today, we support churches throughout the U.S. and see an opportunity to continue using our resources and knowledge to advance God’s Kingdom through the local church.
WHY CHURCHBIZ?
CONTINUITY
Volunteers are great but often have a high turnover rate. Life circumstances often move in-house bookkeepers to other jobs.
Who will ensure a smooth transfer of critical financial tasks? ChurchBiz offers continuity of service, eliminating the need to train new volunteers every few years.
EXPERTISE
Did you know our team is led by CPAs with over 40 years of combined experience? They bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, ensuring our clients receive the best possible service and guidance.
ChurchBiz is focused on supporting churches and their ministries' unique needs. We work primarily in the ministry context and understand the unique needs of church finance.
PARTNERSHIP
Our team is passionate about helping churches. We strive to be your partner in ministry, empowering you to stay focused on your mission.
We administer so you can minister!

"We have been using ChurchBiz for 5 years now, and they have been invaluable to the operations of our church. It gives us such peace of mind to put this important area of our church into the hands of professionals. It really is a one-stop source for most all of our financial service needs. In addition, we have a certified public accountant on hand to consult with and give us guidance when financial things come up, as they always do. Steve is just a phone call away, and he is always knowledgeable, helpful, and warm. A great partner in the mission of our church. I couldn’t recommend them more highly."
