  • While it’s true that we call ourselves MinistryCPA and do serve more than 100 ministry clients on an annual basis, we desire that our name describes just as truthfully how we serve – with a passion to serve, to minister, the needs of others.

    We believe that if we have this attitude, then the people of MinistryCPA will enjoy purposeful, fulfilling lives that benefit and influence others for good and rewarding ends. We gain genuine satisfaction by serving others.

    If you believe we may be able to serve you, please Contact Us and tell us about yourself or your organization and how we can become your problem-solving partners.
