Once or twice a month, the Treasurer should come to the church office to pick up invoices and drop off paper checks, which require a second signature. Normally, there is only about 8 hours of work per month, except when reporting to the Bishop’s Committee (an extra hour or two, every 2 months or less), auditing the prior year’s finances with a 3-person independent committee according to the Diocese directions (5 hours), and creating the annual budget (6 hours).

Responsibilities

• Paying creditors on a timely basis, by bank check, ACH, or QuickBooks-printed check.
• Reconciling the operating account monthly with the bank statement.
• Providing a recommended budget to the Bishop’s Committee at the beginning of the year.
• Maintaining and reporting to the Bishop’s Committee on the actual to budget comparison at least quarterly throughout the year and providing the balance sheet and statement of activity at end of the year, and earlier intervals if requested.
• Preparing all documents related to the end of year donations summaries, tax reports, and reports to the Diocese. Note that Paychex, the payroll provider, will prepare 1099 forms. Contact Therese Lynaugh at the Diocese in December with the 1099 information.
• Reviewing the annual insurance coverage with the Bishop’s Committee.
• Reviewing all existing financial policies with the Bishop’s Committee annually.

Qualifications
