We provide innovative financial services and solutions for churches and faith-based non-profit organizations.

MRM and Associates is excited to partner with VentureCFO to bring you Church Financial Group (CFG). The CFG team brings over a half-century of marketplace and ministry experiences for churches and faith-based non-profit organizations. CFG understands that these two types of organizations operate very similarly (donation income vs. product/service income). We aim to ensure our clients are financially healthy so that they can fulfill their missions and visions for the coming years.

Where Business and Ministry Work Together!
‍
Virtual Fractional CFO Services
‍As the leader, how often do you hear or even say to yourself, "I just don't have enough time to dig into the financials!"? Well, that is where our Fractional CFO can step in and take those responsibilities off your plate. While our CFO focuses on improving the organization's financial position and operational systems, you can focus on leading the team in fulfilling the organization's mission and vision.

This innovative service is not for every church or faith-based non-profit. However, if your organization is experiencing a season of growth or navigating strategic challenges, it could be a costly mistake not to have an experienced CFO on your team. Hiring a Fractional CFO who understands the non-profit world can be extremely valuable for your organization. The best part of this partnership is that your organization gains access to a CFO with years of experience in the marketplace and ministry for a fraction of the cost!

Virtual Stewardship Advisor Services
‍As an organizational leader, have you ever looked at your team and thought, "I sure wish I had someone who could focus solely on helping the organization be a better steward of the financial resources God has entrusted to it." If you do not have this person, we do! CFG has developed an innovative service that addresses this issue and is a perfect fit for small to medium-sized non-profit organizations. 

What is this service? We refer to it as Virtual Stewardship Advisor (VSA) Services. Each month, your VSA will review the organization's financials and other relevant monthly data. After analyzing the reports, they will provide a monthly summary report for the leadership team(s) while creating a detailed financial plan to increase giving while finding ways to decrease expenses. The VSA will work alongside the organization’s Executive Pastor/Director, Administrator, and/or Bookkeeper to ensure the financial plan is executed each month.  

The bottom-line goal for this service is to help churches and faith-based non-profits be the best stewards they can be...More Money For Ministry! We are confident when properly executed, your VSA will more than pay for themselves (2x-10x return on the monthly membership fee) by effectively utilizing our financial tools/resources. Do not wait another minute, contact us today for more information!

Strategic Finance Assessment Services
Are you a non-profit leader (Pastor, Executive Director, Elder, Deacon, Board Member, etc.), and when you see your organization’s financial reports, you ask yourself, “What is this? Who can understand these monthly statements?” Well, you are not alone! You may have an Ex. Pastor/Director, Administrator, and/or Bookkeeper who does their best, but lacks the necessary financial knowledge and experience when it comes to maintaining proper financial records. If you have confusing statements, it may not be the 'person'...it probably is the 'process'!
‍
That is why we created Strategic Finance Assessment Services. This service ensures that churches and faith-based non-profits have the same accurate financial procedures and standards that for-profit businesses must have to operate effectively. To make informed decisions for the organization, the leadership must have accurate/transparent reports and statements that enable them to easily understand the organization's financial health!

Our approach begins with a thorough, three-page assessment designed to evaluate and enhance your organization's financial operations. 
‍
Page 1 – Summary Assessment: A high-level overview highlighting the strengths and opportunities within your current financial system.
‍Page 2 – Balance Sheet Analysis: A detailed review of your organization's assets, liabilities, and equity to ensure accuracy and financial health.
‍Page 3 – Profit & Loss Statement Analysis: An in-depth examination of your income sources and expenses to identify key trends and areas for improvement.
‍
We recommend that all new clients review their financial operations with us, as our assessments often reveal opportunities for both small and major improvements in systems and account coding. These changes streamline bookkeeping and increase efficiency. When you partner with us, we will provide hands-on training and supervision for your Executive Pastor/Director, Administrator, and Bookkeeper(s), ensuring a smooth transition to improved methods and lasting best practices. Our goal is to equip them, so they can be the very best they can be!

As you are aware, there are expenses and investments associated with spending the organization's resources. We believe this up-front effort is a strategic investment, establishing a solid financial foundation that supports your organization’s long-term health and future goals.
