Casey Does the Dirty Work For You

Okay, this is not a sponsored post. Casey Graham didn't pay me any money to write this. I just really like him. And the business model he's created in The Change Group is genius. 

Wish I'd thought of it.

He provides bookkeeping services for churches that gives them a real-time dashboard on-line that shows them exactly where they are financially at any given moment. You just scan or fax your receipts to him once a week, and out comes a beautiful, well-organized financial report.

Where was this service when I was a church planter?? 

Finances have always been this big, putrid grease trap that somebody's gotta clean out...

Scott Hodge is using it. Granger is using it. Pete Wilson. Michael Lukaszewski... A-listers, I tell you.

I asked Casey a few questions to help you connect with what he's doing.

1. What is the big hairy problem you're trying to alleviate?

We want to provide a solid source for bookkeeping for churches so they can win people to Jesus, not stress over money. Many churches do a good job with their finances and get by. We want to provide church leaders with a great service so they can ultimately focus on and accomplish the purpose and vision of their church.

3. What are the biggest financial challenges that church planters deal with?

a. Living off a bank account balance rather than reality.
b.  Lack of passion for this area.
c. Leading a not-for-profit organization, not just teaching the Bible.

Here's how to get a hold of him.

Nice I love it! I can think of a bazillion churches that would love something like this...

I feel like I might be missing a valuable tidbit here that used to be #2. OR you accidentally labeled #2: #3. Either way, LOVE the change group and what they are doing. Thanks for the heads up.

Even better than my blog post is a chat with Casey

Hey bro, just to clarify - Pete and Granger used the consulting side of our system, not the bookkeeping... :) Just want to keep it real, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for highlighting this Ben. As a new church (3 months old) we just went with the Change Group. They worked with us, and helped us create a custom package to fit our infancy needs. Church planers: go look it up!
