Not only do you need to manage a\u00a0church\u2019s\u00a0budgets and cash flow, but\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0constantly having to hunt down and reconcile multiple expenses from many different departments.\u00a0A financial assistant can help ease some of the pressure on the primary financial manager of the church. But what does a church financial assistant do?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-duties-of-a-church-financial-assistant\">Duties of a Church Financial Assistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-church-financial-assistant-alleviates-administrative-tasks\">A Church Financial Assistant Alleviates Administrative Tasks\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u00a0main\u00a0responsibility of a church financial assistant is to take on tasks that may be bogging down the financial manager.\u00a0Tasks such as answering vendor emails, creating budget reports, managing a budget spreadsheet, or inputting data into a financial system.\u00a0Financial assistants should\u00a0be given\u00a0administrative duties to free up the financial manager to tackle\u00a0bigger\u00a0projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-assistant-reconciles-expenses\">The Assistant Reconciles Expenses\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all the different types of expenses happening\u00a0every day, reconciling transactions can be daunting and exhausting.\u00a0A financial assistant can help\u00a0with reconciling\u00a0each expense so that every dollar\u00a0is accounted\u00a0for.\u00a0This\u00a0may mean going expense by expense and ensuring all the proper receipts and paper trail is there.\u00a0Or\u00a0it\u00a0may mean keeping staff members accountable by following up with them when certain expenses have not\u00a0been reconciled\u00a0for a certain period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0Whatever the situation\u00a0may be, a good church financial assistant will reconcile each expense or ensure that each expense has\u00a0been reconciled\u00a0by the staff member responsible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-church-financial-assistant-monitors-the-budget\">A Church Financial Assistant Monitors the Budget\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This\u00a0leads to the next responsibility of a financial assistant: managing and monitoring the overall church budget.\u00a0Lead pastors and executive teams need to know how the church budget is doing so that they can\u00a0plan projects.\u00a0A financial assistant can\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Help manage the budget\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine whether or not they are under or over budget<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help create reports for any budget meetings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financial assistants\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be the ones to set the budgets, but they\u00a0can certainly help manage them. They need to ensure that budgets and limits are being honored and offer transparency to the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-church-financial-assistant-researches\">A Church Financial Assistant Researches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Churhc financial assistants can also help the\u00a0main\u00a0financial manager with different research projects.\u00a0This\u00a0could researching the value of a potential property or building the church wants to purchase. Financial assistants may also research healthy church spending trends, or salary comparisons and standards for staff members. Regardless of the task or project, financial assistants can investigate and study financial matters that will help benefit the church.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-assistant-writes-spending-policies\">The Assistant Writes Spending Policies\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As churches grow and add more staff members with purchasing abilities, spending policies\u00a0need to\u00a0be reviewed and updated. Things may have been organic when there were only a few staff members,\u00a0but\u00a0a larger team will need boundaries to keep the church above reproach. Financial assistants can help write spending policies that will assist in serving all the staff members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-skills-and-competencies-of-a-church-financial-assistant\">Skills and Competencies of a Church Financial Assistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know the responsibilities of a church financial\u00a0assistant, let&#8217;s discuss what a an ideal candidate looks like.

You will want someone who understands how budgets work, comprehends the language, and knows how to draft a budget report.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ideal-candidate-is-detailed-oriented\">The Ideal Candidate Is Detailed-Oriented\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need to find someone\u00a0who is\u00a0extremely\u00a0detail-oriented.

You need someone that pays attention to every detail and always focuses on the small things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ideal-candidate-follows-the-rules\">The Ideal Candidate Follows the Rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legalities, policies, and rules\u00a0must\u00a0be honored and followed\u00a0at all times\u00a0to have your church finances in good order.\u00a0This\u00a0is why your church financial assistant should be really good at following the rules.\u00a0They need to know\u00a0the rules and follow them\u00a0perfectly to ensure the finances are always\u00a0right.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ideal-candidate-displays-administrative-skills\">The Ideal Candidate Displays Administrative\u00a0Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Administratively minded people will thrive in a financial assistant role.

They need to be comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations with staff members when they need to turn certain things down due to budget restrictions.&nbsp;Someone who cannot say no will&nbsp;have a hard time thriving&nbsp;in this role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-various-responsibilities-specific-skills\">Various Responsibilities; Specific Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Church financial assistants have a wide range of responsibilities but have specific skills and character traits\u00a0that are\u00a0necessary to do well in this role.
