Services
Four things, done right, every month.
Most churches and small businesses don’t need a big firm. They need someone dependable who closes the books on time, runs payroll without drama, and hands them numbers they can trust. That’s the work.
Payroll Services
Everyone paid correctly and on time, with the filings handled.
- Payroll processing on your schedule
- Payroll tax deposits, quarterly and annual filings
- W-2s and 1099s
- Church staff and minister payroll
Financial Reporting
Statements your board, banker, or pastor can actually read.
- Monthly financial statements
- Budget versus actual, with notes on what moved
- Board, committee, and funder reports
- Year-end packages for your auditor or tax preparer
Bank Reconciliation
Every account tied out, every month, so surprises don't hide.
- Bank, credit card, and loan account reconciliations
- Missing deposits, duplicate payments, and bank errors caught early
- Unauthorized charges flagged right away
- Catch-up reconciliations for accounts that have fallen behind
Since 1996
Nearly thirty years in these mountains.
I have kept the books for coal companies, churches, senior centers, and family businesses across Southeastern Kentucky since 1996. The software has changed many times over. The standard has not: accurate, on time, and explained in plain English.
Who I serve
Churches, senior centers, coal companies, and the businesses in between.
Why it matters
A CPA behind the bookkeeping.
Plenty of people can enter transactions. What you get here is controller-level judgment applied to everyday work: the controls that keep money safe, the reports that hold up under an audit, and straight answers when you ask what the numbers mean.
- Internal controls and segregation of duties
- Audit readiness, year after year
- Budgets and forecasts you can plan around
- Grant and restricted-fund compliance
- Software setup and conversions: QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, Paychex
- Plain-English guidance for pastors, directors, and boards
About
Chris Bingham, CPA, MBA
I have worked in accounting in Southeastern Kentucky since 1996: a CPA firm in Corbin, thirteen years as Accounting Manager for TECO Coal, and senior finance roles at Alden Resources, Senture, and Catalyst Resources.
In 2024 I went back to what I enjoy most: working directly with the churches, senior centers, and businesses of my home region, where the pastor or owner can call me and get a straight answer.
- Certified Public Accountant, Kentucky (active)
- MBA, University of the Cumberlands
- B.S. Accounting & Business Administration, Union College
How it works
Getting started is simple.
A conversation
Call or email and tell me where things stand: what's current, what's behind, and what you need from your numbers.
A clear scope
I lay out what needs doing and what it will cost, in writing, before any work starts. No surprises.
Steady monthly service
Books closed, payroll run, accounts reconciled, and reports in your hands on a schedule you can count on.
Questions
Straight answers.
The things people ask before they call. If yours isn’t here, the phone works.
Four things: accounting and bookkeeping, payroll services, financial reporting, and bank reconciliation. All four are delivered monthly for churches, nonprofits, coal and mining companies, and small businesses in Southeastern Kentucky.
