About Tim Samuel
You’re not alone if your church finances feel messy. I fix that.I’m a CFO who’s spent nearly two decades helping pastors and boards bring order to chaos.I’ve seen it all: • Credit card systems that make reconciliation impossible. • Fraud that went unnoticed for years. • Fixed assets that never made it onto the books. • Budgets that run behind every month. • Staff who love Jesus but can’t close the books.When churches call me, they’re ready to move from confusion to clarity.Since then I’ve: • Helped churches eliminate millions in debt. • Built reserve strategies that turned deficits into stability. • Moved teams from spreadsheets to cloud systems that actually work. • Given boards confidence in every financial report.Now I help $2M–$10M churches build systems that support ministry growth, protect integrity, and let pastors focus on people instead of payroll.Here’s exactly how I can help you:Free Resources 1. Free Discovery Call to identify your top financial blind spots.Paid Services 1. Fractional CFO partnership (monthly retainer). Financial systems rebuild (QBO, policies, fraud prevention). Board and staff financial training sessions.I’ve helped churches find peace in their finances and freedom in their mission.Ready? Send me a DM here on LinkedIn.
