Finance

 

Our Finance ministers undertake a number of essential tasks from counting the offertory and special collections to running the Gift Aid Scheme or updating the parish accounts.

The Finances of the Parish are divided into a number of separate tasks, each of which is vital to the running of our Church:

Counting Collections: This involves the counting and recording of all monies collected in Church; offertory and Special Collections etc.

Auditing Finances: This is a job for a qualified accountant and involves the examination of Parish financial accounts to check their accuracy.

Parish Accounting: This involves the collating, indexing and recording of all aspects of Parish Finances.

Helping with Planned Giving (Gift Aid): Involves the documentation of all donations given through the Gift Aid envelopes and the claiming of the repayment of tax under the Gift Aid scheme.  Click Here to find out more about Gift Aid!

Wages: This involves the calculation of staff wages according to Government guidelines, the completion of tax forms etc.

any of these tasks, then please contact us.
